Sweep!

The Card Game of Curling

It’s the final end of your game and you are down one with the hammer. You are standing in the house looking down the ice at your team mates.  You see your lead standing behind the hack waiting to deliver the first stone, will he keep his balance, will he hit the broom, and will he throw the correct weight?  You see your sweepers, will they sweep if the stone is too light, will they sweep hard, and will they head your sweep calls?  You look over at your opponent, what strategy will she use, does she prefer take out or draw games, what is she thinking? You look at the ice, how is it curling, is it running fast?   You take a deep breath, put your faith in your team, and call the shot.
