Curling with the Ridhas

Curling and How to Play

We are so thankful for our clients so to show our appreciation we rent out Roseland Golf and Curling Club’s entire facility, and invite our client's and curl! It’s a day full of fun and relaxation!

How do I play? Teams are made of 4 people (each player throws 2 stones). Two teams play against each other on one "sheet" (lane) of ice. Time can be saved by pre-arranging teams before you arrive. The four positions are:

Lead: Goes first in the throwing order, then sweeps all the other team members' shots - usually has easier shots because there are few stones in play.
Second: Throws second and sweeps all other team members' shots - has more difficult shots since some stones in play.
Vice: Throws third, holds brush (target) for Skip, and sweeps only Lead's and Second's shots - has difficult shots as a lot of stones are usually in play.
Skip: Throws last, holds brush for all other players, tells other players when to sweep, watches the "curl" of the stone - has most difficult shots as all other stones have already been played - team captain. 
You will need a warm sweater and a very clean pair of tennis shoes, as well as loose fitting pants and perhaps gloves (the idea is warmth with mobility). Stones, brushes, score sheets and special 'curling tape' (for use as a slider) will be provided for you.
