a)make sure you understand and follow golf etiquette
b)buying used clubs that don't fit is always a mistake...buy from one of the pro shops...some might sell used sets that fit you
c)there isn't any time that's good for a beginner...once you're reached 2 or 3 over par pick up and go to the next tee
d)if your slow play due to errant shots is holding people up behind you then wave them through
e)start at an executive course and take the good golfers class here in the villages.
f)be polite and respectful as a true golfer won't mind you taking excess shots as long as you understand that allowing them to play through isn't a sign that you're a horrible player...just one who wants to learn.
g)take lessons...yes they can be expensive, but so are driving lessons to get a license and they're both worth the cost in less aggravation.
h)good luck
