I'm considering joining a spring/summer league bowls team, but also wondering if it might be too strenuous for me. 🤔
Strenuous, STRENUOUS! Don't make me laugh. 😆
At least with Curling you have so many things to learn, to watch, to judge, to communicate and that is before you find yourself potentially running down the ice sideways whilst simultaneously looking forwards, backwards, at the line the stone has already taken, at where it is currently, at where it's going, whilst talking to the skip, your fellow sweeper, at the person who has just played it, you then might get a little bit of exercise to your arms, of which you need to learn to judge yourself, regardless of what the skip says, whilst all the while not falling over, the skill of learning how to fall/land is an extra bonus... Because you are on ice.
You also need to be looking out for other stones in play so you don't stand on, move (burn) or trip over.
Oh and then there is perfecting the sliding delivery properly, getting your line correct, oh and tactics and stuff too.
The ice is always different due to atmospheric changes too and it's behaviour can alter during a game, so it is never a uniform thing either.
Bowls, strenuous? PFFT! 😆
