I learned only recently that my grandfather played a lot of polo in Ireland. Yesterday i had the chance to ask him more about it, and i recorded it. So here he is talking about playing hardcourt polo on the Courthouse Square in Galway in the 1930s--against his father's wishes--and the inspiration and equipment they got from the awesome Gaelic sport, hurling.
I apologize for the weak sound quality, it's recorded with my cell phone and my grandfather's 88-year-old voice is faltering.

transcription to come?
yeah, i could barely make out what he was saying most of the time. if you could type it up that would be awesome. i took a look at those galway photos and a name really caught my interest for a great polo nickname with little alteration.

ps. those hurling mallets or 'hurls' look badass.
