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!!!!

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By StuM · Posted

      The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
