Golf is not a game that should be played by a new "golf club owner". You need to take at least 1 or 2 lessons minimum to learn how to hold the club and get basic swing theory. Then it's off to the driving range. Once you can hit the ball every time without missing, then you need to learn to get the ball up in the air. Once you can hit the ball and get it up in the air, then you can worry about tee times and trail fees. It might take 6 months, maybe longer.
But don't skip the lessons. The worst thing you can do is go to the range with no direction and try to figure it out yourself. You will develop life long bad habits. Practicing a bad swing is worse than not practicing at all.
Good luck and hopefully we'll see you at the range.
