DEFFO a 147 in snooker!
In darts its the same motion. In Snooker you're faced with so many different problems one after another! I got my first 100 (century break recently) took me 20 mins.
SNOOKER.... hands down |

Although it is the most lengthy and boring sport/game of the 3, id say the 147, it takes a lot of shots and planning ahead, golf is just a good shot that gets lucky and the 9 darter isn't that hard in comparison to the other 2 IMO |

"Hole in one, all day long.
Question... is snooker the world's most boring game?"
Boring to watch, to be fair. But to play... its great. It's like a skilful version of chess |

A hole in one is a fluke. No player plays to put the ball in hole straight away. |

But doesn't someone get 147 at every world cup? |

Yes, but it's one shot. You're either lucky and it goes in, or else it doesn't. It's almost impossible but good luck will get it in one you're close enough. With the 147,you might be lucky with one or two shots, but not all 36. Skill and consistency are required. Ok, skill is required with the hole in one as well in that you need to get your shot as close as possible.. Consistency is the key word here. |

"Sure, can't you score more than 147 anyway?
Technally you could get a 154if you started with a free ball
Plus the red so 155."
Still only 15 reds and 16 blacks |

Candy Store is right. On a free ball you can hit any ball first (ie: lets say blue that's classed as your red which is 1 point that time then you go for another colour) |

as the world's worst golfer, I've managed to come very close to getting a hole in one (hit the pin and stopped inches from the hole). As the world's worst snooker player, I'd be lucky to pocket more than 2 balls on the trot, so there's no comparison!
None of the 3, however, come near being as exciting as seeing Colin turkington take the British touring car championship at the weekend - speed, crashes, skill and excitement. Makes golf, snooker and darts look boring!

I stand corrected  |

Well you could get lucky with a fluke hole in one. You're not going to do that with 9 darts, and have no hope fluking it in snooker with the amount of balls you have to pot and positioning the que ball for your next shot. So I'd say the 147 would be the hardest |
