Do you want to play polo but can’t afford a string of ponies?
Then Segway polo, a more affordable version, might be the perfect solution.
The game, played on the two-wheeled vehicles with traditional polo mallets, was invented a decade ago in California.
Technology consultant Nick Magliocchetti is now looking to bring this “game for gentlemen of tech” to London and create Britain’s first Segway polo team.
“I am a bit of a geek and I was looking for a pastime,” Nick told H&H.
“I found out there wasn’t a team in England so I decided to make my own.”
Nick is now trying to recruit 20 fellow “geeks” to play, with the aim of competing at the 2014 World Championships.
