Dragging My Husband to the Golf Course

Right now the nearby golf course has a special on Monday and Tuesday. It costs $12 for 12 holes.
On Monday, I cleaned up my clubs and golf bag as they have been sitting in the shed for 2 years! I told Hubby about the deal. I told him I wanted to go. So many places are closed and it is easy to physically distance from others at the golf course.
On Tuesday morning he was very reluctant. His feet would hurt if he walked that far. He was not interested in spending $30 on a cart. I said I did not want to drag him there, I could cycle or paddle, or walk by myself.
Finally, suddenly, he said, "Let's go!" Luckily, it's easy to get a Tee time there. Off we went.
Now he says we should do that twice a week! 
But he may decide to get a cart next time.
Are you ever glad you did something when you had really just felt like staying home?

Not my idea of fun, but glad that your Hubby enjoyed it and wants to get back into it twice a week!

You finally talked him round and at least he didn't say "I would have been better off staying at home"

That's great that you got to go golfing. But why only 12 holes? A course is either 9 or 18 holes, so it just seemed odd to me to only play 12.
There have been handfuls of times when I didn't want to do something, but was dragged kicking and screaming to do it anyway. And I ended up having a great time in almost all instances.

@paigea You can't argue with a dollar per hole. That is a fantastic deal. If that deal was offered here at any of our courses, and I had the time, I would be out playing every day!

@moffittjc My parents would have also. We are "social golfers". This course is good for us to practice a couple times per year so we can occasionally golf okay with the real golfers And where they golf is not $26!

Yes and I understand about the hubby not wanting to walk very far.
I didn't know you golfed too. Both of the courses in our city for flooded and I don't know if they are open again yet although I no longer see the mid so maybe they are.
