I've been watching the stellar Curling coverage when it's on air from the Olympics, am I the only one?

I haven't watched any Olympics coverage. None.

I'm gonna have to go with "Yes."

Undaunted... I was out for dinner with my wife last week and got to see some curling. I've never understood that sport.

I finally watched some of the Olympics last night. Seth Wescott won the snowboarding something or other. Slalom, jumps, and whatnot against three others. Snowboard Cross or something it was called. Then I went to bed because men's figure skating was next.

Curling, I've always said, is probably the one sport I can use to satisfy one of my life goals: win an Olympic medal. Cuz seriously, how "in shape" do you have to be to slide a rock on ice?

I would think that the curling team does not get a patch on their high school letter jackets. ;)

I've tried to watch curling a few times, and I just really can't stand it. I know a lot of people who enjoy it, but I'm just not one of them.

As for the Olympics as a whole, I've checked out quite a bit. I have become a fan of hockey this season for some reason, so I've been cheering on the US team pretty hard in Torino. Needless to say, I've been yelling at the TV screen the entire time. Hopefully they got it together today in the quarterfinal round (I TiVoed that bad boy and will watch it later).

I love the Winter Olympics, mostly the hockey, speed skating, bobsleigh, moguls, etc. I enjoy it.

As I've said, curling isn't my favorite sport, but when its on I get an inquisitive/confused look on my face and am strangely drawn to it. Cause what is that sport?

Well I agree with him 100%, not sure what it is but when curling is on the tube, I have to stop and watch. It isnt like I love it but it hypnotizes me as well!!!! My favorite is the moguls, that is for sure!!!!

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
