Another win for TMM, 9-5 after 7. Skipper fell on his shot in the 6th and other skip hit a killer shot to follow. Made it a little more hairy than it needed to be. Need to win our pool to stay in the A because our DSC was not good. Some fun times so far.

Team The Molly Maguires were big winners. Hand shakes after 5. 1-0 in pool play with two tough teams left at the May Open at Lone Star Curling Club in Austin. Good to be back home.

Heading to Austin for the May Open this weekend. Excited to be back on my old ice.

The PWHL is officially coming to Detroit, the league announced today

Bonspiel hat update.

Clawed back against a real good team but lost on the last shot. Really made a game out of it with back to back steals and being set up to steal one more time. Real fun game and a nice one to end on. Also won the Derby Exacta and don’t have to be back at 9am. So. Real winner here.

This weekend’s fits.

Complete game from us today. Got the win to stay alive. 13-4 after a couple of 5 Enders. Next game tonight. If we win again in the C semis at 9am.

Game two loss. Another game we should have won. Other skip was out so they had a local sub, one of the better 5U skips in the country. Would have been fine if our back end could of got a stone in the house against 5 in the 6th. Unfortunately we did not.

Crooked Billet spiel at Bucks. Lost game one after missing our last two shots in the 8th up one. Was less than ideal but at least we are not in the A.

Tell me the curling season is over without telling me the curling season is over. ..

Let’s. Fucking. Go. Didn’t realize when I picked a college to go to way back when that I’d have to spend so much on championship gear. 6 since I started there. 💸 Number 11.

Last game of the season for me was as a sub. Hit every shot but one, go figure. Ending the season on a win. Potomac Curling Club has been wonderful. A real bright spot through a tough life transition. A few late spring/summer spiels and then no curling until October. Be safe and good curling.

Thursday double header. Lost the first game, it wasn’t close. BUT WE WON MEN’S LEAGUE! Undfeated this half season. Second game of a double header for 3 out of 4 of us. Skipper won it in 8th with a double on his last throw after a steal of two in the 7th. www.youtube.com/live/dzh_tNg...

Monday men’s league semi win. Stole one in last end to win after other skip made a heck of a shot but ended up stuffing. We were not good, especially me, all game. Luckily the only two shots I made were in the last end and my 2nd rock come around was the shot rock.

Thursday night playoff win. We were surprised to find out we made the playoffs and one of our teammates was out of the country. Won as a three person team and were in control the whole way. If my men’s team wins on Monday, I’ll have a double header on Thursday.

11-1 winners in the first round of the playoffs for Monday Men’s league. I did not throw well but was able to impact the game with several really important sweeps. Need two more good ones to win the league and finish undfeated.

Finished regular season in Men’s league undefeated. Gave up 2 in the first and then forced to 1 in the second. Won 11-2 with 10 points off steals. Playoffs start next week with us as top seed. Have to be on point here on out. Have had my best curling the last few weeks, luckily.

Our second Thursday night win in a row. Gelling too late to make a playoff push. Curled well enough from lead. Only scored in 3 ends but those were enough. Steal of two in the last end after other team flashed hammer in a tie game.

Well. Started game off down 5 after 3. Hard to win after you do that. But anyways, we won 9-6 after a 3 with hammer then two back to back steals of 3. We were all very off the first few ends. I was slightly better than I have been but not as good as last week. More to work on. Still undefeated.

Finally got Thursday league win tonight against a team with about 100 years of curling to our 3 5U and 1 with about 8 years. Played vice & hit some really nice shots. Two in the last end to seal it with peel weight hits through tight ports. Skip chipped shot rock for handshakes.

Monday W. Handshakes after 6. Skipper back from Nationals with a 4th place finish but 1st place in our hearts. My best game of the half season so far. Nice to get that monkey off my back. Was in general area every shot but the exact area more often than not. Hope to build off it.

Thursday league has not been going great. But we have been having fun. A lot of fun tonight. Had a guy I played in Fairbanks, who curls out of Anchorage, in at Potomac to spare on our team with his girlfriend. The curling community is really cool.

Well. My GPS taking me by the Capitol Building on the same day that the State of the Union is happening certainly was a choice it made.

No game last night with skipper competing at Men’s Nationals. Nice to chill on a Monday.

I really enjoy seeing club level misses on shots from the best curlers in the world. Brings me a sense of peace.

Monday dub. We were up pretty big but let them back in it after some uncharacteristic misses. It’s not helpful when the lead (me) shoots like 50%. Luckily skip only had to throw a guard with his first rock in the 8th and then walk down his last after handshakes. On bye next week.

Win in men’s league tonight on skippers last shot. I’m not exaggerating when I say the port he put a 7 second rock though was about a rock and a quarter wide for the hit and stick to win. I didn’t play well, but man…it’s wild playing with someone of that caliber. He’ll be at this US Men’s Nationals.

Monday men’s leave late draw. 9-2 dub. Took a minute to get used to our ice again but had it fairly dialed eventually. Skipper is very good. Former Juniors bronze medalist and will be at men’s nationals. Trying to learn as much as I can while I can.

Pictures from Madison. Got the Frozen 5U we won on the spiel hat! Also won a signed Team Edin broom head cover. First time I’ve ever won a raffle!

4th event runner up. The theme of being just off enough to lose came back. Great time and we leave with hardware. Not upset about playing in a final in Madison.

Touched button on warm draw tie breaker to win the 4th event semi. Play in the final a little later today.

Good win for us today. Win in the early draw tomorrow and we are in an event final.

Woof. I was terrible in the second game. We shook after 4. Since we were the late draw and it was still early in it we switched up teams and positions then played a couple of more ends. Got a win in the pick up game and threw very well. Looking forward to building off that.

First game took us a bit to adjust to the slow ice. Came back towards the end but didn’t pull it out. A event is for suckers anyway. Playing a team that knocked us out last year and who has already qualified at least once.

Well. Coming here was a choice.

Lost in the second event semi final yesterday. One of the best spiels I’ve been to. What a blast.

Lost the game we needed to win this morning. If we had won, we would of been the top seed from our pool. Now we are top seed of consolation bracket. Our LSD was best of entire spiel. I put two on the button and one in the back 8. First round bye tomorrow after we won tonight.

Our shirts for Madison next week. 3 different clubs coming together to have a great time.

2-1 in pool play. Won a good one tonight after a strategy switch after the break. We put one on the button and one on the pin on our LSD. Best by a mile in our pool there.

Lost close in our second game. Just off enough all game as a team to not be able to pull it out. We all feel really good though and my LSD hit the button. Lots to build off.

In Fairbanks for the 5U. Win in the first game.

Friday morning pick up game dub. Back at @Lonestarcurling like I never left. Fun being back on arena ice. Great to skip again, too. Had the pleasure of being on a sheet next to @ibkabbitle. Hit a fun long run back take out for 3 in the second.

We’ve all been there. Believe it or not, we were yellow in this game. #curling #curlingmeme #curldc #funny #potomaccurlingclub

No more bouncing on zam lines and reversing handles on skate gouges. #curling #curlingmeme #curldc #funny #potomaccurlingclub

Excuse me while I over throw this shot. #curling #curlingmeme #curldc #funny #potomaccurlingclub

Took the L tonight. Curled well from skip. Lots of complements from opposing team and my vice. Had to hit quite a few hero shots and came up short in the end. Did the best with what I had. Was nice to not suck as skip on dedicated.

Tuesday Social League L. Probably one of the best games I’ve curled from league yet. We got smoked. Back at it from the skip spot tomorrow.

Monday Men’s league W. 7-2. Controlled it the whole way. I curled well enough but not as well as this weekend. Judging weight was wild tonight. Stones just kept going. 4.3s were going into the house. Throwing stones at 4.5 just felt unnatural. Was a fun one.
