Magnetic curling board

I'm looking for those white, miniature magnetic curling boards that you use for strategy sessions. These are the ones that have magnets for rocks and have the rings, etc. I've seen the Goldine version, but, I'm specifically looking for the one that is white. The Goldline version is a metal colour and doesn't have "nice" rocks. Anyone know where I can order one?

Well, I found them at both Asham's and Olson's websites. A bit pricier than I expected once you factor in the shipping. Anyone have a GTA Toronto supplier?

The Olson one has white for the playing area background (bare metal around the edges). The old Goldline one I had a few years ago was the bare metal background (unpainted) one.

Never heard of this magnetic board. Does it work for blind people. Is it like some board game of curling? Might be fun.

Magnetic board

No,it's function is to demonstrate strategy situations (and possible alternatives) by coaches or players. It is also used by sheet officials to keep track of where rocks are, in case there is an infraction and moved stones have to be put back to where they originally were.

I used to use a board, then I found a free app called curling strategy and just use it on my phone.
