Find a PGA Golf Professional and take several lessons. do not expect to be able to play after two or three lessons. Many professionals have a package of six or so lessons and most people need at least two series of six lessons before they should venture out onto a golf course.
The Villages has something called, The Good Golf Course, which I understand will give you the basics of some of the rules, etiquette and procedures that you need to know in order to get around the course, have a good time and not interfere with other people's good time. I strongly suggest a course of this type.
