    Default I took up curling this year

    So I suffer from the winter blues pretty bad, to the point I have had to see doctors and I have a special light I use to simulate summer and makes you feel happy.
    This year I decided to take up curling, I hadn't really played the sport in my life but I enjoy it on TV and I wanted to try it.
    WOW, I love playing this game. It isn't a hard workout but much more so active then say golfing which I also love. All the plotting and strategy really reminds my of my time playing and coaching football.

    I'm interested to hear if anyone else plays curling or is interested in the sport? I know it isn't that popular but it really is a lot of fun.

    - Good Curling!!!

    Thanks MasterShake!!!

    I've seen it on tv and I am interested in it now. that's where they scrub the ice isn't it? I think I will look into trying it maybe. there's an ice rink in the town I live in.

    On a serious note: for reasons I can't quite figure out when Curling is on tv (you know once every four years) I can't take my eyes off of it.

    I LOVE watching curling on TV. I have been wanting to play it for years. Seems like a ton of fun.

    We are pretty spoiled in Canada we get a lot of curling on TV. The mens (the brier) and womans (the tournament of hearts) national championship and world championship all my years growning up. More recently they started showing a lot of skins games and other games. There is a new tournament (bonspeil) on each week it seems.

    Thanks MasterShake!!!

    I don't mean to brag, but I'm a pretty awesome shuffle board player, and a former hockey player - so it's pretty likely that I would dominate this sport.

    I would recruit some women to work the brooms.

    It really is, and I was surprised how you can kind of pick it up and play with better players pretty quickly. Of course you look new and fall on the ice and look like an ass, but curlers seem very welcoming and willing to give tips.

    Thanks MasterShake!!!
