Fan Mail
Hi Bill, Thanks for this most recent show. Senior curler here started in 2019 after retiring. I'd agree it's just so obvious this is a team sport. Here at my club level I can tell you that skip broom placement makes all the difference. Some mustn't be holding it at the right place. There are just some skips that make me look like a million bucks. Same goes for good sweepers and weight calls to the skip. Sometimes the magic can't help but happen. Keep the podcasts coming, Kevin.
