It’s interesting how Silicon Valley’s prosperity is based on science and technology, but so many of them follow quackery.
Ain’t that the truth!!
Curling is a fairly easy sport to pick up. Its basically shuffleboard or lawn bowling. Each team has 8 rocks to throw down to the end other end of the rink. You want them to stay as close as possible to the center of the bullseye painted on the ice at the other end. Only the team who has a rock nearest the bullseye scores any points.
The knack of the game is that those rocks are kinda heavy (44 lbs) and they called a rock, because they’re made of granite. If you throw that rock down the rink badly – with poor technique it’ll screw up your back for life. So do it right or be crippled.
If you are serious about wanting to take up the sport, take a lesson(s) first.
I’ll have to see if they even have curling here in Virginia. Seems like perhaps a more northern sport?
Out doors maybe. But they skate in Virginia?
