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!!!!

      Last (Golf) Thing You Bought?

      By tomvk77 · Posted

      I had a few tweeks in the bag. I took out my Mizuno pro FliHi 3 iron replaced it with a Titleist GT2 7 Wood. what a change that is, so easy to hit, it goes so high without it ballooning on me. I couldn't get rid of my callaway woods ( Rogue ST Max LS ) but changed the shafts to Diamana BB 63 stiff for the driver and 73 stiff for the 3 wood. Than i got myself a new putter Odyssey S2S jailbird yes i joined the centershaft family

      Are You "Loyal" to One Golf Ball?

      By tomvk77 · Posted

      First off all i think you should use the same ball all the time. We all strive for consistency on the course, the only factor you can be sure it will be always the same is your ball if you always use the same. So i think we should always use the same. I recently switched from Titleist Pro V1x to Srixon Z-Star Diamond because it i get a bit softer feel around the greens and same results on driver and irons
