Curling

[Bob C]

Hey Bob,
My Grandfather Carter was a champion curler. (Our club in town had strict rules that Balmoral bonnets had to be worn at all times when playing. Teams were issued coloured buttons to place on them to mark the different teams. I wish someone in the family kept his for me)
My mother is obsessed with watching curling during the winter.

As for playing, I have never due to back problems, but my older sister use to once a year during her companies bonspiel. She said it's not to hard if your playing for fun. She recommends heading to a rink and throwing a stone or two to get use to the weight and to get a feel for a distance. The stones get father away from you the more you drink during the game she tells me.
One other tip, confirm what type of foot ware is required. Some rinks are strict on this.
Most of all have fun!
