Well - we managed to win our two games yesterday - but they weren't pretty. The first Nodak game - I really struggled and the team still managed to win - which was good - but it was close. The second Nodak game we played better but it was still close - they played nicely.
Then came this morning. Sheet 3 is just dogging us. The first end was fine - played a clean hit game, actually were sitting 2 at one point - but their vice made a nice double. Derek then unfortunately missed a hit - things are really floating on the outsides. No big deal, down 2. But the ice in the next end killed us. We were playing the in-turn side and if you were just slightly inside the 4 foot - it would curl up, but if you were on the 4 foot or just a little outside - it would float out and away - at draw weight. Needless to say - they managed to either hold a tighter broom or come out a little tighter and theirs curled and ours were just a little full on the broom and wouldn't come back. Tough to keep chasing like this. The Ohio team played well the whole game.
We haven't been playing our best yet - as obvious by our linescores. We need to pull ourselves together or we'll be drinking a lot earlier than we had hoped...

Maybe a little drinking might help. Aim for the broom on the inside instead of the middle one of three.
ReplyDeleteKeep it going, it will come. Looks like everyone is still alive at this point.
