Another characterful edition of LO - challenged by both the 'Open'-ness growth and the shock weather attack. Organisers and participants stepped up further than they could have reasonably expected, contributing vital positivity throughout and sharing the hit.
The on court performances were increasingly inspiring, if less visible in the gloom of the finals - it was important and invaluable for the grass roots scenes to see these great male and female players in action, not just for technique/commitment/style, but for the sporting chivalry too.
I did miss the 'up-and-coming' non-qualifiers tournament, which was the jewel-in-the-crown from 2011, and not being able to buy an official tournament shirt.
In what was probably the most expensive polo weekend of the year for most of us, especially when measured against on-court time, it's the positive memories that will make us come back willingly for more - job done methinks.
