Back in the late '70s, early '80s I entered the US Open in Vegas a few years. Out of a couple thousand entrants you could pick out who was going to make the finals out of 5 or 6 guys. All UK guys at the time. Not long after that the game got much more international but at that time the Brits ruled. I made the top 32 twice and at that point was completely out of my league. No US player stood a chance at making the finals at that time. The game was invented in England way back. A king at the time only allowed his soldiers to play games war related. Archery, spear throwing and the likes. Hard to throw a spear on the tavern so darts was invented. An end cut from a log was soaked in water then hung on the wall to Chuck their tiny spears at.
