The Linfoot Memorial Tournament was held at Santa Barbara Polo Club this past weekend. The tournament is played every year in honor of Billy Linfoot, a renowned 9-goal player. The Linfoot Memorial is open to children 15 years and younger, offering four different levels of polo: Lead line, Walk/Trot, Hand Canter and Rock and Roll. This year’s tournament included two generations of polo players. Jeff Hall and son Luke participated, along with Matt and AJ Walker. Walker and Hall both played in the Linfoot Memorial as children and were happy to pass the tradition down to their young ones. All of the participants had a great time and are looking forward to next year’s tournament.
