As long as you don't check Mom into the wall, or drop your gloves to square off with your brother...a bubble hockey table from Epic Rec Rooms is a nice and friendly way to play the game.

Depends who you ask, because even professional dart players debate it amongst themselves. The one thing everyone agrees on: it isn't just a pub game anymore. Who cares if it is a "sport", a "game", or a "hobby", it's both entertaing and competitive...no matter what you call it.   

...a quote attributed to Mark Twain. My advice to Mr. Twain: Skip the walk.

In fact, skip the course all together. If you want to get in a few swings, the only driving you need to do is into a net. Or just step into your game room, and on to your own putting green.
