I like it. My wife and I tried to go into a curling club to watch some people play (they have one within hours of where we live) and they declined our courteous request.

We concluded they probably have an open house sometime during the year, but weren’t that interested in trying to keep track of when.

It does look like fun. Olympic sport? Maybe, maybe not. But fun!

Yeah I love it. Almost chess level of strategy with figuring out your move and how they’ll move and what you’ll do about that and how if you have the hammer you’d rather score 0 than 1, but if you can get 2... And then of course after you figure out your move you have to go 100+ feet away and slide that rock and then you miss by a quarter of an inch and all your plans disintegrate. I’m in the sun belt so I doubt there’s a club nearby. I watched it a lot back when NBCSN existed and had the NHL, I would “rest” my cable box on that channel in the winter and frequently come home to curling on. Wonderful sport. My second favorite of both Olympics, right after hockey.
