According to the website sportpolo.com,
"Divot stomping is a long standing tradition at half-time. Spectators wander all over the field stomping down the torn up turf....You can meet great people just wandering the field. Even at high goal tournaments the players often walk divots to keep limber at the half"
At Newport Polo's match against Italy, we walked the field with our guests, stomping divots. Indeed, we did meet "great people" as advertised. I bumped into two beauty pageant winners: Miss Newport and Miss Rhode Island. Couldn't pass up the opportunity to pose with those local celebrities. (Wink).
And, my favorite "great" person I came across was this guy stomping divots in his bare feet.
