Robert (Bob) Uihlein

When polo needed leaders, Robert “Bob” Uihlein, Jr ushered in a new age for the sport. After World War II, he was the driving force behind the Milwaukee Polo Club. In 1974, he and others inaugurated Milwaukee’s prestigious Gold Cup, now a top-rated event. His commitment to the preservation of polo in the Midwest stemmed from his love of the game and his admiration of the people who enjoyed the sport as he did.

Bob fielded many high-goal teams in leagues and in USPA tournaments. He earned two U.S. Open Championships with his Milwaukee teams and also won several Sunshine League and Twenty Goal titles.

He served as a Governor of the USPA from 1949 to 1953, and from 1955 to 1974. His dedication and character made him a respected supporter of the game.
