Thursday Night Darts – Small Steps Forward, but Forward All the Same

 Last night was the Thursday Night Open at Browns Bar.As always a tough mix of standards, and last night was no different. I didn’t make it out of the group stage, but strangely enough, I probably played my best overall darts for a while.

Two of my matches were in the 60+ average range, which is something I haven’t done in a while. That tells me the work I’ve been doing, especially sorting my mindset, is starting to kick in. I didn’t pressure myself, didn’t overthink, and just let the arm go. It felt smoother, calmer, and much more like me.

Yes, I still had double trouble in a couple of games (don’t we all), but if you take the finishing out of it, the scoring was actually really solid. And right now, that’s what I’m taking as the positive: I’m trending upwards.

With the new four-week plan now in place, plus the upcoming 10,000 darts challenge, I’m genuinely hopeful that I can finish the year strongly. Lots to build on — the foundations are starting to look good again.

Stats:
• Group average: 49.16
• First 9: 57.67
• 100+ scores: 11
• 60+ averages: 2
• Legs won: 4
