Golf and Curling

My last two games of Golf have been much better. Friday I shot an 84 and today I shot an 82 and my index is down to a 10.4 handicap factor. It would be really nice to end the season in single digits, however that may be tough to do and right now I am focusing on eliminating the bad shots and still enjoying myself.

Last Thursday was my first night of Mens’ League Curling. I decided to take up the sport as an activity for the winter. I have joined the McArthur Island Curling Club with Rick P., his son-in-law Randy P. and our skip David L.

Rick was unable to make the first night so my golfing buddy Al J. spared for us; Al is a great curler and was very helpful for my first real serious attempt at curling. I believe we were playing last years Men’s League Champions and they were great curlers and great guys to curl against; easy to get along with and helpful for us newbies. We lost badly and shook hands after 6 ends, but we had some laughs and learned a lot, so we will only get better. I’ll provide updates through out the season .
