180 requires more skill
hole in one less likely and therefore harder to achieve

It is easier to fluke a hole in one than a 180, though?
therefore a hole in one might be easier to achieve?
(most people said hole in one, I argued the other way, just for fun lol)

Surely a hole in 1?
Buy a dartboard and practice for long enough and you'll hit a 180. Bet there's loads of pros who haven't hit a hole in 1?
I've hit a few 180's and only played casually.
Maybe flawed logic

Hole in one, don't even think it's close.
An average dart player will hit hundreds of 180s in their life.
How many holes in one will an average golfer manage?

Don't think so. I've seen enough people who even after a few pints can hit 180s and they rarely ever play. On the other hand I've never seen anyone get close to a hole in one (especially not after a few pints!). Which is more skillfull is irrelevant (it's the hole in 1 imo), the harder to achieve of the two is definitely the hole in 1. I'd also add that in a game of darts you're going to get a hell of a lot more attempts at throwing 180s, whereas you're going to get 3-4 attempts(?) on an hole course I'd imagine? |

Years ago when I participated in the Partick drinkarts league, 180s were commonplace on a league competition night. According to wikipedia an amateur is 12500-1 to get a hole in one, so I doubt it is close at all.

This, the frequency of attempts makes this very one sided. |

Hole in one definitely harder. I've managed to fluke a 180 once in my life. Still waiting for the hole in one! |

There is an interesting discussion point here about frequency thou
If you are making this scientific, then does the golfer not have to play to the same green with the same pin position? Also hole length is v significant.
Still think it's golf, but this would narrow the edge considerably

As an amateur player of both from my experience the hole in 1 is harder. I have done 2 180's at darts but not had a hole in 1 yet. But i think that it is hard to quantify as you can spend 30 mins playing darts and have maybe 60 attempts at a 180 yet you can play a round of golf in 4 hours and only have 4 attempts at a hole in 1.
