How far did you curl today?


 

Ever wonder how far you had walked after playing an eight-ender?

 

* Calculations, in feet, from T-line to T-line: (21 + 72 + 21) x 2 stones x 3 curlers x 8 ends =
   
Leads & seconds
10944' (2.07 miles)
Thirds
7296' (1.4 mile)
Skips
2736' (.5 mile)
Golf, 18 holes, on a typical course (= Dorval: 5078 yds)
   
On foot, from tee to green
15234' (2.8 miles)
Electric cart (about 100 feet per putting green)
1800' (.3 mile)
   
... and there are no electric carts in curling.
 
   

* Not calculated: distances to get tissue to blow your nose; distances to get the brush cleaner, distances to put skip's stones in the hack.

* Also not calculated: amount of calories burned while sweeping 48 stones and throwing 16 stones.
