Which is more difficult, a hole in one, a 147, or a 9 Dart finnish?

[Ironside]

I have never had any, would say hole in one is easiest though as many amateur golfers get them everyweekend

147

147 def. Back when I was playing darts, the good players (won amateur comps) would mostly have had a 9 darter and certainly the first two 180s was not an uncommon occurence in the pub.

Hole in one simply a function of skill level and attempts, I'm sure that someone could compile a table with handicap in one column and expected attempts in the other.

On 147s, even today with more players and clubs, there can't be that many people who have ever done it, certainly in comparison to the other two. I vaguely remember someone saying in the late 70s that they knew everyone in Scotland who had made a century!

Pretty much anyone could fluke a hole in one, potentially although highly unlikely you could fluke a 9 darter with a little bit of skill, whereas nobody is ever fluking a 147. Thus 147 is clearly the hardest and its not even close for me.

Mondy knows.

OMHO it's the 9 darter. About 70% of the shots in a 147 are bread and butter, black off the spot type shots.

President Trump has had an hole in one

Correction to my last

President Trump has had 8 holes in one

Splendid achievement

yeah but if asked I'm sure he'll confirm he has also had several 9 darters and 147s, so he doesn't add much to the statistical deliberations.

I'm surprised he's not claimed a Hole In None.

In the World Matchplay last night, & it was Luke Littler v Josh Rock.

It was a treble-fest, & between them, they scored 29 x 180's, 80 x 140's & 146 x 100's.

In one leg, BOTH players threw 6 perfect darts, Littler went 60, 60, 60, Rock went 60,60,60, then Littler went 60, 60, 60 & Rock followed suit, 60, 60, 60. Rock was denied his chance of a 9 darter though as Littler checked out with his next 3 darts for a 9-darter.

There's no way a 9 darter is more difficult than a Hole In One or a 147.

On that evidence then I will change my stance and concede that you are probably right.

I can say that because I am NOT stubborn and obdurate, so you were wrong about that weren't you? Fat boy.

I'm pretty sure I've never said any such thing.
