From the Reliable Source:
The Courage Cup polo war is heating up. Over the weekend, founder Greg Ball sent an e-mail to thousands of local fans advertising a charity polo match he calls the Courage Cup at Leesburg’s Morven Park on May 12. But not so fast! Three directors of the group once allied with Ball quickly responded with an e-mail saying the official Courage Cup is slated for June 16 at Great Meadow Polo Club near Middleburg.
Since Ball left D.C. to become a New York state legislator, he and the new board have fought each other with dueling Web sites and bitter e-mails. Ball now contends that his cup is taking place in conjunction with America’s Cup of Polo (England vs. United States). No way, said Charlie Muldoon, director of polo for the May 12 event.
Meanwhile, the chances of a friendly resolution are shrinking by the day. The new directors have washed their hands of Ball, saying in an open letter: “We will have nothing further to do with this person or his imaginary polo activity, either collectively or individually.” In a letter on his Web site, Ball shot back, denouncing the “unauthorized and renegade outfit.” Remember when polo was civilized?
