"Sense of humor is the oil of life’s engine. Without it, the machinery creaks and groans. No lot is so hard, no aspect of things is so grim, but it relaxes before a hearty laugh." –George S. Merriam
In a tribute to the late tycoon, shirt brand Van Heusen recently sponsored the 2006 Enrique Zobel Memorial Polo Cup at the Manila Polo Cup. It was the year’s most awaited polo event as the country’s finest polo players, sports enthusiasts and their families, as well as international players from Chile and Spain gathered for a competitive weekend.
The cup was launched by Zobel’s family last year to celebrate the visionary businessman’s lifetime affair with horses and polo, aptly called the "game of kings." The polo players, led by Enrique’s son Iñigo Zobel and Cup MVP David Stirling, all had a grand time indulging in the sport they loved. After the match, everyone enjoyed a fine cocktail party as they celebrated the day’s competition and international camaraderie.
See you at next year’s match!
