OK, OK. They are that good!

Sorry for the delay between post (Tony!)

The trip up to CT was well worth it. The dart players in the PDC are truly professionals and it was a treat to be sitting next to the worlds best shooters.

To read details on the event click the picture above, it will take you to the website.

Also, remember to tune in to ESPN's coverage of the tournament starting next week.

World Series of Darts

Tomorrow, I will be going to the World Series of Darts at Mohegan Sun. It should be great to see the best players in the world play. I read today that Bill Davis qualified in the Friday Night Madness event. He is the only player that I have personally played against. I can't say I have beaten him, but I had a shot at a 170 out when he was sitting on 32. I ended up hitting a 140 and he won on the next dart, but it was a great experience. That was a couple season ago at the Kettle of Fish, a good bar in the West Village.

Off to New England...

Lefty...

The broken hand was my worst dart moment, and one of the things I am least proud of. Had to start shooting lefty after a crazy night at the 19th Hole. Resulted in me getting two pins in my throwing hand and missing darts in what should have been an easy season and win of the C division that season. Luckily, I have joined the N.V.I.D Campaign ("No Violence In Darts" for those of you who don't know).



The picture is with my pops in the fall a few years ago.

Home Board 213

I purchased a new dart board and dry erase board for the apartment, against the advice of my bank account. Now, I just have to make it easier to shoot in the apartment with out having to move the furniture. With this I do hope to practice more and save some money. Who knew drinking could cost so much money....

The board is the new Winmau Blade 3. In my opinion, it is a step up from my past Nodor Board. However, I have already had some bounce outs on the razor wires. They are not as thin wires as the past Blade and current Bandit (made by DMI), but I think this is good, they will last longer. You have to see it to understand, as with most dartboards and supplies for that matter. This board was purchase at a very fair price at A-Z Darts.

It would have been nice to purchase supplies at an actual store, but there seems to be no good stores left in the city that have a wide enough variety of products. This is shocking because we do live in one of the biggest cities in the world... Any way, so much for ranting.

The Four Holemen

Paying tribue...This was the 19th Hole team, The Four Holemen, the season we won B. Pointing to the King. Good group of guys coming together at the right time. We all miss that place.

-"thatss whats up!"

Yellow Dart's Home Board

This is my cousin Kyle's(Yellow Dart) home board in Spokane, Washington. Probably my favorite backboard I have seen. Made of a collection of coasters from around the world. Also, the DMI Bandit is one of my favorite boards to shoot on. Especially in this condition.

Where's Cork? - Fall 2005

This picture is of my Monday team last season. It was my first season playing with "Where's Cork?", of which I felt privileged to join. The picture was at The Gaf (West Side) after our final game last season. We tied the team that night to secure a 2nd place finish on Monday's in the A2 division of the New York Dart Organization "NYDO" heading into the playoffs.

What it was, what it is...

So,way back in 2004 this blog was originally supposed to be family related. However, now it will concentrate more on darts and what I do on a regular basis.(which will still include family related things.)

I have been reading more and more blogs, dart related and not. Some that sparked my interest in making a blog on darts are the following:

The Dartbags(this is probably takes first prize). It is well written, fun, and really captures the atmosphere of the game night.

Another fun read has been Ebchester Darts, of which I know nothing about the author other then what is written in the blog. I enjoy reading about the different bars("pubs") that they shoot at. He also does a nice write up on the playing conditions.

Also, I enjoy The Dart Indoors. Has a great list of boards and an impressive dart collection.
