I think the biggest difference between golf, darts and curling is that while all three do not require a person to be fit, darts requires virtually zero physical activity.

Curling IMO is the in the middle between golf and darts. Guys like Randy Ferby clearly aren't in shape but the 2nd and 3rd guys (the sweeper dudes) have to do a fair amount of physical activity.

Golf, of the three, is by far the most sport like IMO. I think golf has the biggest upside to success for fit people.

So Darts, not a sport at all. Almost no physical exertion compared to other sports.

Curling, pretty close to darts but sweeping in just one end is about as physical as 50 games of darts.

Golf, most physically taxing of them all and is most sportish because being in good shape, IMO, is a distinct advantage.
