'Spaw,

The local Curling club is a three minute walk from my house. I have never tried the sport, but I would really like to. I have several friends who I grew up playing hockey with who now curl. They love it. And yes, like anybody who is representing their country in any sport at Salt Lake, these people are highly skilled athletes. I've watched enough curling to know just how tactical a game it is and how much skill & precision is involved.
