Watched curling on TV for years and then eventually tried it myself. The feel involved to make the rock go +/- 10 feet from where a previous spot went makes lag putting a golf ball 40 feet seem laughably easy.

The sweeping is another crazy part of it. I had no idea how much of a workout the sweeping part is where your heart is pumping like crazy and you're sweating buckets while the whole time you're getting yelled at by the Skip "HARD!!! HARD!!!!" and that's just 20 seconds.
