Nah, curling is dumb, but it's not as bad as synchronized swimming or rhythmic gymnastics.

It's ultimate frisbee (not plural), and any game that is as challenging as soccer physically but encourages as much drinking as softball is a good thing in my book. :D

I'm not bad at it. The only time I really have problems are on 500-600 feet holes. It's hard to make par when you can only throw 75'ish yards like I do. And throw in about 8 billion trees between you and the basket making an impossible par even more impossible.

I'm a 2 handicapper depending on the course.

Yeah, I challenge anyone who would dog on ultimate to play 4 games on saturday, party until 3 or 4, then get up Sunday morning and do it all over. Throw in a boat race or maybe drink a disk for good measure.
