I would rate curling above golf as a sport. Even though I come from a curling nation I'm not much of a fan myself. I find it too boring to watch. Spurts of it can be good particulary towards the end of a set when each side only has a few rocks left and the strategy aspect comes out. Some planned shots are just amazing! There is direct head-to-head competition unlike golf where you're really not doing any battle against your competitor.

Besides how can you not like the screaming? :-) Hard! HARD! HAAAAAAAAARD!!
