2. I played a little bit of / some golf this weekend.



3. I have always debated myself whether this was the right move.



Thanks,

MG.

(wouldn't the listener wonder who the speaker questioned?)

I doubt the listener would wonder about that. to question whether ... is normally taken to mean that the speaker has doubts about something, not that he actually asks any questions of anyone else.
