So far really good. I haven't got my board up at home yet so have to practice in the pub - it's a hard life! Had a night to practice by myself last week and did ok. Went again on Saturday and had another hour of practice before playing a few of the pub team regulars. I hit a good few 100's, some 120+s and what I think was my first ever 140. I then had a a few games with some decent players, managed to outscore my opponents in 4 out of the 5 games but couldn't get those pesky doubles, hitting the wire twice and letting them back in to win. Unfortunately as I'd got there early I'd had a couple of pints more than my opponents and over did it a bit so decided to watch for a while at the end of the night, rather than play or mark badly because I was a bit tipsy! Got a few jibes about my darts- "run them over, give'em a bit of grip" but I think it's the happiest I've ever been with a set.
More practice required on the doubles though, and better planning of alcohol intake!
