Raymond Guest

Raymond Guest played in the Golden Age of Polo, when the best players in the world were amateurs competing for honor, glory and a good bit of fun. He, along with his brother, Winston Guest, competed and excelled in all of the major high-goal events of the pre-World War II era. A perennial all-star in both the arena and the outdoor versions of the sport, he first achieved an 8-goal outdoor handicap in 1933 playing for the Meadow Brook Polo Club. As part of the famed Templeton team, he won the U.S. Open in 1932 and ‘34 and the Monty Waterbury in 1931 and ‘34. His defensive skills were legendary, and he was accorded the honor of playing Back for the East team in the famous 1933 East-West series.
