Huntington Beach, CA - October 28 - Late October was an exciting time for water polo players in an unexpected place, the golf course. Despite the land based surroundings the water polo community turned out in force at two different charity golf events designed to support USA Water Polo programs and the USA Water Polo National Teams. The first event was held at Arroyo Trabuco Golf Club in Mission Viejo, CA September 16 followed by an event this past Monday at Round Hill Country Club in Alamo, CA. 

A special thanks to the golf tournament committees of each tournament along with all the staff and volunteers that made these events possible. In addition, thank you to all of our partners and supporters that donated items for the silent auction and sponsored various elements of each tournament. See below for all those that supported in addition to those who turned out to be pretty good at both golf and water polo!
