General Note
Accompanying note "Orginated in Florida, Palmetto Polo is a rugged game. Played from horseback with mallets and basketball-sized beach ball by basketball rules this rough and tumble game has five players on each side. Often the ponies get in the act with a sudden kick at the ball which may or may not help their cowboy partners. This fast action game that tests both horse and man was dreamed up by a woman. The game takes skill, daring, and horsemanship and is becoming increasingly popular.
