As we wrap up 2009 and launch into 2010 I want to take this opportunity to wish all of you a very good year ahead. I trust you are able to enjoy some good badminton and have a safe and enjoyable time doing it. I was watching Taufik Hidayat (of my native Indonesia) playing Hafiz Hashim of Malaysia in the 2009 India Open and I couldn’t help but have this secret little hope that in 2010 I could work on my backhand smash. 
Looking back at 2009 I think that we can say that it was also a good year. Our tournament was a success and we have had a lot of just plain old fun playing the game we all love.
Special thanks again to Don for his tireless work on behalf of our club and thanks to all of you who take the time and make the effort to make our club a pleasant and fun experience.
For your viewing convenience I have added several links in the side bar to sites that have badminton video archives. If you know of some other sites with good badminton video resources feel free to let me know.
Here is Taufik Hidayat with another backhand smash.
