ST. LOUIS — They look so smooth doing it. But looks can be deceiving.
While curling could be considered a cousin of sorts to shuffleboard, there's a bit more to it. The objective is to deliver your stone to the house on the other end of the ice. Getting it there takes a certain amount of finesse.
Nevertheless, the members of the St Louis Curling Club find the game to be addicting.
The brooms come into play to, sort of, control the pace or direction of the stone. However, that doesn't always get the job done. A stone inside the house scores. But, your opponent can also know your stone out. So, winning will also take some thinking.
The efforts as a whole result in a physical sport. The game can be frustrating and at the same time rewarding.
The St Louis Curling Club invites everyone to give curling a try. You could get hooked without even meaning realizing it by visiting them online.
