RIP Billy Joe Clark
The Old Dart Coach’s search for the ultimate Greek salad in Thailand and the Philippines caused some concern for one reader. “I didn’t understand half of this, but I liked it a lot. It’s much more like you used to write – funny, sad, (I’d …

Stefan Lord tried to KILL ME!
For more than half a century, from 1927 until 1990 (with a break during the war years and a brief reappearance in 1997) the News of the World Darts Championship was the granddaddy – the “tournament every darts player wanted to win.”
He …

Bye-bye Whitlock and Newton. And that’s no April Fools.
Yes, it’s a little late for an April Fool’s effort but, being from Las Vegas, it’s no problem – the Old Dart Coach can decide for April Fool’s to fall on whatever date he chooses. In Vegas, Cinco de Mayo …
