Been having an interesting discussion this evening regarding elite sporting achievements..
This is 100% totally an individual opinion but in your opinion which of these three is the hardest to achieve ...
A 9 Dart Finish
A Hole in One
A Snooker 147 Maximum...
Very random but that's me  |

147, definitely....the odds are incredible.
You can fluke a hole in one.
And a 9 dart finish, still very difficult, but even amateurs can achieve it (not me, my best was 12 darts). |

A 147 is super hard.
If you think about sporting achievements in terms of average percentage, most guys can do a 20 second 100m. I can just about do a 15 second one now and that’s only 50% slower than bolt, for example.
I’ve done 1 180 in a pub, could I do two in a row? Probably if I practiced a couple of months, you could say I’m 1/3rd of the way to a 9 dart finish.
I’ve had a hole in one on a pitch and put and hit the flag too on a 9 hole. I think this one’s easy to fluke.
A 147 tho? Not a chance. My best break is about 30, and there was only 1 black in it.
Essentially, your liking at getting it right once from 1 go, 9 times from 9, or 37 times from 37…

"I'd tend to agree the 147 can't be fluked tbf ..
That takes unbelievable skill and concentration...
And Ronnie O Sullivan has done it 15 times  "
He has done it in 5 minutes flat
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9D2rFMPN9js
And it’s 15 times in big competitions
He’s done it way more at charty events and such
Also it’s 16 but walked away and refused to pot black because there was no prize fund for a 147

It could depend on the hole but I would say a Hole in One. I bet the top Snooker pros hit 147 regularly in practice but the top golfers could rarely hit a hole in one on purpose. |

About 3 feet away from the fence |
Hole in one - there are just too many variables at play
9 dart finish - 9 almost-perfect darts in a rowbis something even 30 year veteran World champions can't just do on demand
147 - still hard but if you're a snooker player there's a point you get you where you've seen most possible angles |
