golfing for christmas?

We are thinking about going golfing. There are three 9 hole courses - I think we'll only be able to do 9 holes as we aren't really in golfing shape. It is amazing how much work golfing can be. I'm not any good, although I'd like to be better. Can't get better until you start practicing! David really wants to go golfing too. Actually- he is the impetus behind us going. Makes me think that we should try to find a nice cheap 9 hole course in Seattle and try to go more often. The problem is, it isn't usually one those thing we think about doing on the weekend (for some people it is the only thing they think about doing on the weekend), so we'll have to make a conscious effort to try and go.
