Pacific Coast Open

One such eminent and a century-old legacy is the glorious gold-silver trophy for the Pacific Coast Open. The mere stature of this ravishing relic, ascended on the plinth of redwood, is compelling enough to drive the show. This five-feet-tall majestic piece of perfection is as much proudly held by its conquistadors as the eagle on the trophy itself.

The gravity of this mark of honour dazzles much more than the semiprecious stones it is adorned with.

 

 

 

At first known as the All-American Polo Trophy, the seed was sown in southern soil of California in 1908 by members (and their acquaintances) of the Coronado Country Club.

 

 

 

 

 

The trophy has had the pleasure of being a guest to numerous Californian clubs. After World War-II, the PCO found a lengthy dwelling at the Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club which extends hitherto, not before sojourning at the plush and chic Beverly Hills Polo Club up until 1952.
