“It’s not all work and no play,” the Argentinean-born polo player Nic Roldan said as he stood, dripping wet, in the kitchen of the Water Mill house where he’s spending the summer. He had just finished a practice session in the polo field next door, then cooled off with a dip in the pool. Roldan, one of the best polo players on the planet, splits his time between Argentina, Palm Beach, and the Hamptons, where he has played Bridgehampton polo for the past six summers. This season he’s riding with Team Certified’s Gonzalo Garcia del Rio, Iñaki Laprida, and sponsor Michael Borrico—and rolling with an entourage of groupies. “Polo is great here in the Hamptons, but it’s really the surroundings that make it,” says Roldan, who played on Prince Harry’s team in the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic in New York earlier this summer. “I love to be outdoors, and between the spectacular beaches for surfing and the long bike rides out to Montauk, it just doesn’t get better than this.”
