By the 80's those courses were disused, later converted to skate board parks. Next came BMX bikes for kids. Then paintball and simulated combat action sports. Combat sports like paintball are currently trending the Philippines. Where they have actual camouflage uniforms and play the games in disused buildings or in forest/jungle locations. Golf courses do require large portions of land. There in San Pedro Laguna and in Bantangas, some of the courses are owned by corporations, backed by Koreans. I have played most of them. Imagine mini golf in a city where commercial land is always at a premium and I think you can see why it's not a viable I agree and I do know of our sports and fun things to do back home. Girls also love paint ball wars and they are fierce headhunters, I heard. I did not know they have it here. Glad to know this. Thanks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
