Golf and curling notes

  • Sad to see the Jean-Michel Ménard rink lose the world curling championship final. You had to feel for them, but they were simply outplayed. Spectacular effort by the Quebec boys nonetheless.
  • Great performance by Phil Mickelson at the Masters, who I said was looking "unbeatable" here a few days ago. I was pulling for Fred Couples, who would have been the oldest winnter of the tournament ever. He put together a great ball-striking show, but couldn't putt worth a damn. I guess it goes a bit with age. He probably won't get another chance like that again, but I hope he does.
  • Marilyn Bodogh, the two-time world curling champion, announced her candidacy last week for Mayor of St. Catharines, Ontario. Marilyn and I have been friends since I curled with her in a bonspiel when I was 16. She is an amazing woman and I wish her all the best in the race. She is a St. Catharines icon and I'm betting on her to win.
  • I reported here recently about Colleen Jones' team breaking up for next season. Well, it now appears that the entire team -- minus Jones -- is reuniting for next year. (They are claiming to only be a "recreational" team, however.) Needless to say, Colleen is none too pleased as it now appears she was basically dumped. The six-time national ladies' champ is also teamless for next season. Ouch.
