To be honest about this topic, I was once invited to a badminton court where my female friends inhabit. I only play badminton on occasions and I had never played in a formal court. It was a surprise to me that good players were really good that I couldn't keep up with them. After a game, I begged off and never played in a badminton court again. That's how I learned that badminton is a serious sport and not for a mere enthusiast like me.
Thug Life LOL. As for me I used to play it back in high school and we did go to a school tournament but sadly I lost and the winners got to flirt with some ladies =(
