Woodball possesses both the features of golf and croquet;
meanwhile, it is an interesting, entertaining public sports activity
which highlights the great importance of etiquette.
¡@¡@The
creators of the sports activity, Mr. Weng and Mr. Yang Guang-chu,
initially intended to enhance and glorify the Chinese traditional
virtue of adoring elders and , at the same time, to enable their
parents and older generation to live
a
delightful retiring life. As a result, they changed the mountain
slopes into terraces in Taipei suburbs and embedded greensward on
them to create a scenic, pleasant environment that would provide one
with restful atmosphere through feeling the air as well as sunlight
given by the mother nature. Their thoughtful deed reflected the
modern concept and philosophy related to valuing nature, and they
also dedicated themselves to inventing the playing tools with
delicacy. It was on the picturesque field of Wai- shuang River that
Woodball originated.

¡@¡@In 1990, the inventor of Woodball, Mr. Weng Ming-hui, purchased
this land. At first, he hoped to build a garden on it as a resort
for his parents. Later on, he found the land filled with grass,
trees and also natural delights, which made Mr. Weng, fond of
playing golf, start to hand make some simple playing tools not only
for himself but for his parents to exercise on this scenic hill in
addition to gardening or strolling.
