Hi, I also need a place to play. Does this Brookwood Hills place have proper court? Does it accept guest players?

Are there any other places where I can play? I have friends who are willing to play so I don't need people, I just need a court especially!

Its so frustrating to look for a court on online forum like this when you can walk out of your house for 10 minutes and instantly find a basketball/tennis court.

anyone here from the athens area? i'm looking to start playing again. i've sent an email to the UGA club but haven't heard back yet, due to the holidays i'm sure.

hey buddy, I am from Athens area because my school, UGA, is there and my undergraduate badminton club plays but they closed down till January 2nd. Its so frustrating that they closed Ramsey down right?!

it is frustrating. ramsey closed just as i am interested in playing again. i played often when i was in school there 11-12 years ago. now i am an employee and just joined back up at ramsey and want to join the club and start playing again.

you must be one of the older people i see at the courts...i'm still an undergraduate student so i stick with people my age who are active on the courts...maybe you would recognize people like Ning or Shingo?

i don't know anyone yet. i went for the first time wednesday of last week and was told it would be easier to join the first day of the next semester. so i'll go back whenever ramsey is opened. i'm 33 by the way, and caucasian so i will probably be easy to recognize as most folks appeared to be of asian origins.

hello guys,

I have recently moved to Atlanta and living in mid-town. Are you aware of any place nearby where I can play badminton? Any lead would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Gwinnett County Recreation will be adding another County Park to play badminton, on Wednesday Nights starting in about two weeks. It is Best Friends Park, on Jimmy Carter Blvd, just west of I-85 , In Norcross. The exact time and evenings ( possibly 2) will be listed on a Yahoo newsgroup that was just formed. http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/Atlantabadminton/

I'll be visiting Atlanta over the next couple of weeks and wonder if there are any clubs in Marietta area that I can visit while I am there?

Me, too. I live in Cobb County and wondering if there are any open places. I have a few friends who'd be interested, too!

Thanks for posting this. I'm looking to get back into badminton after a few years. Actually, I think I originally started this thread

Hope to make it to one of these soon!

By the way, about the Bogan Park sked, don't they have any non-office-hour court time available? I live about 5mins away, but I work in Tucker.

Hi! I'm glad to see such a vibrant community in Atlanta. I'll be an Undergrad at Emory this fall and I've played for the past four years. I'm not bad and I want to continue playing. Since I don't have a reliable means of transportation since we're not allowed cars, anyone know a club close to Emory's campus? I know Emory has a club itself, but I haven't heard much about it. Either way, thanks!
