Well?
Scoring a goal away from home lately.
9 dart check out: repetition, usually in terms of being able to hit the treble 20 several times in a few shots from the same starting point each time
300 at 10 pin bowling: usually achieved by repetition of a good line bowled from a similar starting point
147 in snooker: 21 shots where you have to maneuver the white ball and also split and move the object balls in order to be able to maintain position and create the opportunity to pot the next red, black, red, black..... combination. Skill plays a massive part in this but sometimes a bit of luck is also needed (but not necessarily every time someone makes one)
hole in one: a lot of luck involved in a single shot rather than being purely down to skill (otherwise the best in the game would be able to hit a hole in one virtually every round) ability helps, but doesn't make it a certainty
So for me it's between the last 2 in terms of difficulty, but i would go for the 147 because there is so much more involved than just 1 shot
I love the way people are saying you can do a 9 dart finish by luck.
I'll wait while these people try. I will be very old and you won't have done it.
A tour pro hits a hole in one once in every 2500 tee shots on a par three.
Ronnie has made 13 147s in tournaments. Pretty sure he has played nowhere near 32500 frames as a pro.
That suggests the best snooker player is much more likely to make a 147 than a pro golfer is to make a hole in one.
For an amateur a hole in one is much more likely than a 147. The other way round for pros.
I dont think you can fluke 147 the rest I might be able to
You can't fluke a 9 darter.
