That is kind of unfair there are many more variables in golf than in darts, for one thing the courses are different and always changing, a dart board is basically a dart board.

Phil "The power" Taylor is still incredible at what he does though but for my money Federer is the greatest living sportsman, quite probably the best ever.

What a load of sh!t

Let me think...

Hitting a ball with a club to within 1 foot of a pin 200 hundred yards away compared to hitting a treble 20 with a dart 8 foot away? You do the maths muppet.

The very fact you see professional darts players drinking and still competing shows how farcical your comments are.

147, requires near perfect cue control. Just my opinion like but for me a 147 is hardest

Watched it the other night. He nearly had a 3rd when he finished with 10 darts the leg after his second 9 darter. Some player.

BTW, what was the best darts match you ever watched?

Does anyone remember Jelle Klaasen vs Barney?
