Badminton is not a career for me, but it's one of the things that I enjoy playing.

I play 3 to 2 times a week.

My home court is in Club Flick, Paranaque.

I have already played at Playground and Star Smash in Alabang (no recommendations for these courts ... bad queueing if you're an outsider), Winner Badminton Club in Laguna (reccomended, nice place), Sta. Rosa Badminton Club in Laguna (highly reccomended, friendly people), et al.

I'd like to know more people from this forum.

Hi,

Can I join you when you play in Sta. Rosa? I heard about Winner but haven't played there yet. BTW, I'm Sherwin from Los Banos.

I'm 46 years old and a former volleyball varsity player (I won't say which school, but I played in the UAAP). That means my smashes are really really hard (I'm six feet tall), but that's about it. My footwork is non-existent. I just wait for the shuttle to float up and boom! My drop shots suck. Plus I tend to swing the racket tennis-style, because that's my favorite spectator sport.

I've been wanting to go serious with this sport because it makes me sweat a lot and I get tired even while warming up and doing clears (I smoke a lot). But it's hard to find play mates in or around Paranaque (where I live).

Oh man! I just read your message. I played in Winner last December 26. Had I read your post, I would have invited you. I'll be playing there again probably on January 2, 3, or 4. PM me your cellphone number before 31 so I could text you.

I'm afraid I can't play today. I'm at work and I don't wanna miss being paid double because it's legal holiday. Maybe we'll just see each other next year. Happy New Year!!!
