FLORIDA/CARIBBEAN FROSS & FROSS TAKES VILLAGES OPENING CUPS Fross & Fross took home the trophies in the first three tournaments of The Villages Polo Club’s 2010 fall season. The first match of the year, the 6-Goal Villages Golf Cart Cup, set the tone for the entire season as the championship match went into overtime before Cuko Escapite and his special pony, Kaboom struck just 10 seconds into sudden-death. After picking up a loose ball just outside the bowl-in and racing untouched, his chip-shot goal gave Fross & Fross an exciting come-from-behind 11- 10 win over Fort Knox.
