“If curling was easy, it would be called hockey”. That quote was proven to be true on Saturday in Lansing for the Flora Rose (plus supah sue-we will get to this later) Curling Squad. Curling is game of skill, strategy, and strength. The objective is to push off of the hack (starting block), have good technique while throwing the stone, sweep the stone to give it more speed (if necessary), and have pinpoint accuracy in landing your shot/placement. At first, you will wipe out. You will fall on your tailbone and wish you had knee pads. But once you get the hang of it, there is nothing else like it. Being able to glide on the ice for those few seconds is such a freeing experience. What truly made my first curling experience even more amazing, was that we were teamed up with Sue. She had walked over and asked if she can join the team. From that moment on it was as if we knew her for way more than 2 hours. She was so lively and good spirited. Just like the rest of us, at first, she struggled. But, once she got the hang of it Sue looked ready for the 2022 Winter Olympics. She had that accuracy and drive that could not be taught, hence the name Supah (aka super) Sue. With Ty as our coach, we were able to have a come from behind victory 3-2. Curling is a sport for all, so come out and throw some stones!
