Mardle Releases 2005 Diary

"HAWAII 501 - Life As A Darts Pro" records Wayne Mardle's thoughts of life on the Professional Darts Corporation circuit in 2005.

A revealing insight into the world of a professional player, the new book follows Wayne throughout his daily life and around the exhibition circuit as well as in events.

In what was a mixed season for Mardle, the Essex star looks back on the highs as well as the lows as he continues to strive for a first major title.

The highlights included reaching the final of the Las Vegas Desert Classic and the Ladbrokes.com World Championship semi-finals - as well as enjoyable exhibition visits across the UK and Holland.

He also discusses his thoughts on form - or a lack of it - confidence and a behind-the-scenes look at travelling the circuit, as well as the future of the sport.

Published by Vision Sports Publishing and written alongside Iain Spragg, "Hawaii 501 - Life As A Darts Pro" is out on 16 March, priced at £12.99.
