Stick curling--more than just curling with a stick--it's a whole new experience! Just two curlers per team, one holds the broom and the other delivers six stones (alternating with the opposition). Then roles reverse for the next end. It's fun and it's fast--a game in six ends, about an hour to play.
Wednesday Morning Curl Moncton Men: Individual Entry
- Coordinator: TBA
- Wednesday morning 9:30 am
- Cost: $12 per game + Social/Curling membership
Come enjoy curling in a less competitive atmosphere. This is a group generally (but not necessarily) of retirees who enjoy good cheer and good company. No one's sense of self-worth is seriously affected by the outcome of the game. A 50/50 draw is used to fund the cost of the season-end banquet. Lunch is also provided for a nominal fee.
Teams are formed from those in attendance on that particular day iwth a view to matching opponents on the basis of skill and experience. A player, therefore, will curl on a different team each week. Two points are awarded for a win to each of the individuals on the winning team, with one point for each of the losers. The four highest point getters at the end of the season comprise the all-star team and may even earn an extra bottle of wine at the year-end banquet.
Players are welcome to show up unannounced, especially in the post-Christmas period when the ranks are decimated by the snow birds heading south with their golf clubs.
