Lots of skill required in this game. Once one gets past the boredom, it's pretty interesting.

Say what?
Those burly scrappy people in Scotland might have something to say about that.
Now...if y'all are talking about hockey, you don't have to go any further than Windsor, Nova Scotia..a mere 40 miles from Halifax.

It does get to being mesmerizing after a while and there is a lot of
skill and strategy.
I have heard that you can't call something a sport if you can take a
beer with you tho ;-)
(usually referring to bowling or golf)
My girl Rocky and Bullwinkle did pretty good for someone who was
supposed to be an "also ran".

Even though she is Norwegian, she was still my sentimental favorite.
I think that is one of the Norwegians Donald wanted more of. ;-)
(she kicked Lindsey Vonn's ass every time they met ... but I predicted
that)

Beer hall shuffleboard and curling seem to be similar. I bet the
participants quaff a beer in amateur contests.

After Lindsey Vonn's political ranting, seeing her get her ass kicked didn't bother me at all.
