I am really lucky that I have a good coach that lives near me - only 10 min drive

20 minutes from my house... its about 16 miles...

Abt 15 min of slow walk or 5 min if i took a straight bus there

umm.. for training.. i go to the gym near me.. its around a 5 min walk.. hehe.. its really convenient! :D For Friday night comps.. its around a 15 min drive.. the occasional training/social at monash also comes once in a while.. that's around a 10 min drive.. ;)

one location, it would take 10 minutes using the bus. And the other would take 1 hour by bus.

Sunday afternoons: ~40 miles.
Tuesday nights: ~10 miles, if I go from work; ~45 miles from home.
Friday nights: about the same. Different gym, but just as far.

All are one-way distances.

Wednesday = 90 km or 56 miles
Thursday = 80 km or 50 miles
Sunday = walk 10 minutes.

But I have been known to fly 1000 to 2000 miles to attend badminton training.
:D

in my club, a 5 minute walk.
but other events, sometimes a 3h drive

usually around 20 mins or so driving, most of it on the motorway.... so it isn't that far for me....

I usually book a court at one of our local badminton clubs other wise i just go to public gym (damn crazy ball s goin every where)

i don;t travel any extra. i play at my office's gym after office hours since i'm there anyway. so i just take the elevator and escalator downstairs. :D

Wed - 10 min walk or stay at school
Thurs - 1 hr drive (around 60 km)

Thanks Phu. It takes more time to walk to the parking lots, then drive from my office to Bintang - 5 minutes. :)

Depends, I mostly commute to the court so I really don't know how many miles or km I travel for that matter I travel.

To give you a hint (guesstimate) of how many miles here is my travel time:
Tuesdays: 15 min lazy walk (this is around 2kms from my work place)
Weekends 1: 30min-90min commute (depends on traffic)
Weekends 2: 45min-100min commute (depends on traffic)

The local volleyball court at our clubhouse has also been converted to a badminton court. Its just a 3 minute walk from my house. I don't usually play there since the court surface is coarse cement.

There is another baddy court near my house, 20minutes walk. I also don't usually play there because of the court surface, you've guessed it, coarse cement too.

It's hard to find a court near my house that has a decent court surface :(

I travel about 40 miles, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

I could play on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday as well, traveling the same 40 miles or more ( courts in different part of town), but those courts are surfaced with vinyl tile (1 mm thick) over a concrete slab. I don't like the effect on my feet and knees.
