Replacing the Divots
The Madison Hotel celebrated the first anniversary of its re-opening in
September of 2003 with a champagne and caviar reception and polo
tournament on the National Mall on September 12. The Madison Hotel
Polo Team, led by captain Dave Pollin and polo pro Charles Muldoon
faced-off against the Carlyle Hotel Polo Team, led by former manager of the
Ritz Carlton Hotel and current general manager of The Carlyle Hotel in New

effort, but the Madison team emerged victorious.
