Biography
Marc Lecours is Canada's highest-rated grass polo professional and the leading figure in Quebec's distinctive polo community, which has developed a rich playing culture that draws on both English Canadian traditions and the province's unique Francophone heritage. His career has helped put Canadian polo on the map for international audiences. Based in Quebec, Lecours has competed extensively in the Eastern Canadian circuit as well as in tournaments in the United States, where the proximity of New York and New England polo clubs creates natural competitive opportunities. His 5-goal handicap reflects serious competitive achievement in a country where the overall playing pool is smaller than polo powerhouses but no less dedicated. Lecours has been a champion of grass polo's development in Canada, advocating for improved facilities and competition standards that would allow Canadian players to develop beyond the level currently possible with existing infrastructure. His vision for Canadian polo extends to hosting international teams who could raise the competitive bar for domestic players. His role in the Quebec polo community extends beyond playing to mentoring younger players and serving as an ambassador for the sport among Quebec's business community, where polo's traditional association with networking and corporate entertainment remains a viable pathway for growing participation and sponsorship.
