Good one.
I'd say 147 very lightly.
Played all of these. Whilst I've played golf since the age of 11 I've never had a hole in 1 (hit the stick and been stone dead millimetres away) I have had a couple of 180's now and again.
Never been close to a 147. Not by a million miles. Had a couple of 50+ breaks.
You don't get many of any of these in each sport on TV yet all are accomplished regularly in clubs all over the world.
Still say a 147 IMO

Definitely 147.
My highest score was 53, (strange that) but haven't played for about 35 years.
I had a few 180's and once had a10 dart finish, when I played, but due to a shoulder injury now have trouble hitting the board.
I've also had many holes in one (on pitch and putt and crazy golf) but don't play Golf.

A 147 break is easily the most difficult as it generally relies on good fortune from the break. If you get that good fortune you then require the positional and potting skill over 36 pots.
9 darters are hit pretty regularly in the non televised tour events by the pros.
A hole in one is just one shot - unlikely but anyone can hit one on a par 3.

Wow a ten dart finish, that's very impressive. Sure you weren't playing 301 which was quite common back then. I played darts for over 30 years to a decent standard playing with some of the best players around the Fylde. A twelve dart finish was the best for me.[26,180,135 and a 160 checkout]Definitely 147.

As said a nine dart finish is pretty common amongst the top pros but still pretty impossible for even a good darts player. A 147 is even harder simply because there's 42 shots needing to be perfect from the start.
Probably the easiest, even though all three are extremely difficult is the hole in one. Just requires one shot. I'd imagine a lot more amateur golf players have hit a hole in one, than amateur snooker or darts players have done the 147 of nine dart finish. By a significant distance.
