I started 5 years ago from scratch and took group lessons in California. I was told by a pro that you won't play well for at least 4 years or more depending on your age and abilities and flexibility. So just go out and have fun. It will take years to get where you are enjoying golf fully. Also no matter how good you get, like paid golf pros, they still hit a ball in the wrong direction sometimes. See about lessons at the Sarasota driving range. And hitting over water should be fun there since it doesn't really matter where the ball goes at first and after a few years you will be able to control the ball. Golf is really fun after a few years.
