Good for you kerry. I really saw no upside with the joint vacation especially if it was with a chaperone.
I never really enjoyed practising....I love to play however. I hear some of the world's best players just love to hit balls so you have that going for you. You do need to get out on a course though. Do you not have a friend who can take you out? I just took D8 out and she loved it (her first time). Maybe a little 9 holes in Hawaii? Or maybe you can try one of those par 3 courses. Some are very nice i hear.
