Thomas “Tommy” Glynn

Without Mr. Glynn’s knowledge and dedication, polo in the Northeast would not be nearly as vital as it is today. Quite possibly, high- and low-goal polo, both in the Northeast and Florida, would not be where they are now. He is respected for his influence and contributions to the survival of modern polo as the seeds planted by Mr. Glynn over the past 20 years have become the polo instructors, players and patrons of today.

Mr. Glynn was also a consummate trainer of polo ponies. Many have remarked that he had an incredible set of hands that could work wonders with even the most difficult horses. His accomplishments include winning the Indoor Intercollegiate Championship as a member of the Harvard Team in 1929, serving as a governor of the USPA and remaining involved in club affairs, particularly in the New York and Connecticut areas. He has been very active with the Greenwich Polo Club.
