I received the email from the
@GDL180
today that I'm being moved up a grade. I'm 3 weeks shy of 12 months of playing and I've gone from bronze to silver to tungsten and now to gold. Throwing 36 averages to now throwing mid to upper 60s. What a year 🫡
When I was put in silver in the
@GDL180
a few weeks ago I was unsure if I could properly compete. Just played my last 64 tour match and produced some of my best darts. My practice game is a lot stronger but I can see it creeping into my matches. Less nerves and better darts
Then up next was the
@GDL180
gold QF4 last 16. I lost a leg on 36 darts but the rest were unbelievable. A 110 followed by a 130 checkout, 4 x 180s and Mt highest average over a long format game. I'm gobsmacked. On we go
In the last 24hrs genuine legends were made

@GDL180
team, all the players who played, and everyone behind the scenes, hats off to each and everyone of you....
Got back from a 5 day fishing trip today and not thrown a dart.... quick 10 minute practice before my match and somehow pulled this out..... things are improving at a rapid rate....
Through to the last 64 of the
@GDL180
tungsten knockout. 2 crazy legs and not being able to hit a double found me 5.2 down n a shattered average. Then things started to click n 2x20 n 2x19 dart legs to take the match. Hopefully those last 4 legs are a sign that I'm back firing 👌
Thanks to the
@GDL180
for putting on a top day of live darts.... it was really good to meet everyone in involved.... looking forward to the next 1 where ever that may be 👍👍👍👍
Just played my 1st game in gold
@GDL180
Q4. I went in worried I would struggle but I've just amazed myself. 5.1 up and my arm tightened when I was down on 58 and I started missing fat numbers, lost the next 2 legs. Gave myself a slap and then took the win with an 80 checkout
My 1st outing in Gold in the
@GDL180
and into the tour final. I was absolutely clinical on the doubles, only 1 visit did I have to come back after missing 3 in hand. Can't believe the month I've had....
I just went toe to toe with a gold

player 17 divisions above me in the
@ooCLANoo
cup. Took the 1st leg, missed 3 at D15 to win 2.0 and then missed 6 match darts in the 3rd. Considering I've been decorating my darts room all day, those are solid darts with tired arms haha
Throught to the semi final of the
@GDL180
QF4. A real slow start from me, not finding a treble for the 4 1st 4 legs. Also had a miscount and checked out 64 to go 3.1 up 🤦. My oppo missed doubles and I didnt. Then I was 5.4 down but took the next 2 legs with some cracking darts.
So today's been eventful, played in the
@TheadlDarts
bashbleague final. I was 6.1 up gonna well the my oppo raised his game. Got it back to 6.6. I then bust 80 in the deciding leg. Luckily I got another shot and checked it out to win the 1st ever bash league 💪
Played my
@ooCLANoo
match 2nite against a fellow
@GDL180
tungsten player. I missed D15 for a 111 18 dart leg n lost the leg, then missed shanghai by a whisker for 3.3 and lost the leg. I took out 96 for 4.3 and then hit the shanghai to equal at 4.4.... a nice 180 in there aswell.
Through to to the QFs of the
@GDL180
silver tour. Came out like a train and wired tops for a 140 checkout and 15 dart leg and it ended up being my worst leg of 29 darts. Solid from then on though. Wired D4 for a 116 to win it aswell... onto the next
@GDL180
Even if you pay it monthly without any deals it works out less than 50p a day...... For EVERYTHING that the gdl offers I'd say that's pretty amazing
So I was late getting home tonight and I thought I'd grab summet to eat as I'd missed dinner. Ordered a large mix special wrap from the Indian and a portion of chips........ WTAF????

9 months ago..... where will I be in 3 months time and 1 year in????
Really scrappy game in 2nites game shot league. Had a real slow start and found myself 4.3 down but then I found another gear and put 4 x 21 dart legs together and closed the match out. On we go....
Ironic Friday. Told the wife to take my car today as I'd booked hers in for 2 new front tyres. Sets off just now, half way down the farm track n the back tyre blows out. No space saver n repair spray. Now sat here with 1 flat tyre... 2 bald tyres... a bald head.... life is cruel
Through to the QFs of tonight's
@ooCLANoo
1001 knockout with some solid darts..... I'll be live on twitch in about 45 minutes for anyone that fancies watching....
I've been using the clemens black for a while and they've helped me push on but I've felt like I needed more grip at the rear. Just received the new clemens gen 2, 5th handful I hit a 180 and the 9th handful a 171.... I think I've found "the 1s"....
