	My two biggest passions for leisure activity is playing soft tip darts and golfing. I spend a lot time on darts and play golf once a month. In the past I have played golf once a week until it became too expensive. At that time when I was playing more often I considered my game fairly good considering I took up the sport late in life. When I decided to leave golf at the wayside I became more active in playing darts. I joined a couple of leagues playing 2 to 3 nights a week. My game is not great but I have a good time with friends playing the game, going to local and mainland tournaments. Many times I have tried to improve my game - I have learned the strategies of playing however my darts don't always comply to where I am aiming them and I lose to my opponent. Every time I think I got it - I find that I don't. They say that practice is the key and I see how others have done this and improved and that's what imspires me - however my dart playing is still the same. So I ventured out to the cyber world to see if there were any helpful hints or tips on throwing darts. I did not find too many - most were on selling supplies and accessories for darts. I did come across 2 that I liked and these are what the next 2 sections are about. Read it, try it and hopefully improve your attitude and dart playing, I'm going to try it and we shall see how it goes. As i find more information I will post it in this section.
