Right Guys the nickname "El Gringo" Comes from the fact that I have a handlebar moustache lol. Just kind of got stuck with it.

Introduction

Right i have decided to blog my journey as I try to make it as a darts professional.

I have been playing darts seriously for about 3 years now and have greatly improved. I started off playing for a local pub on a Wednesday and quickly established myself as not only the top player in the team but one of the top players in the league.

Earlier this year I made the step up and started to play Super League Darts. The step up in quality was amazing and soon realised I had alot of work to do. I won my last game 3-0 after some heavy defeats but I felt I had always played well.

So I have decided that over the next 12-18 months I'm going to concentrate on darts and see how far I can get. So in two weeks I go to Brean Sands to play in the BDO International Open.

Im going to use the International Open as a benchmark of what I need to work on to make it. Then my aim is to play County A Darts so will concentrate on that goal.

All in all in practice I play well but get nervous against opponents so need to work on that aspect of the game. be prepared to see me at alot of local opens over the coming months as I work on my nerves.

Anyway this is it for my first post I will aim to post at least once a day and will be honest and open in all that I do.

Thanks for now
