Read Hogan's book.
Practice putting the most- especially 4,7 and 10 footers.
Learn to chip. Practice chipping with different clubs until you are comfortable with a favorite.
Learn to pitch. Sometimes you will have to pitch over a bunker or creek.
Develop a consistent tee shot. Starting with a 3 wood may be a little easier.
Have fun. Play forward tees until you break 90, then move back one tee.
This is recreation. Enjoy yourself.

Night putting with the pros daughter, give her the tip first. Even stokes after that.

It's a good hobby to pick up because you'll be able to do it when you're old. I'm young and joined my HS team mainly to get out of class then started enjoying it and got decent enough at it to make it to sub state as an individual. Now it's a get away from the house hobby.

Read Dave Stockton's Unconscious Scoring.

Keep your head on the ball all the way through your swing.
until follow through of course. But if you look up before making contact, which is easy to do, you will raise up a bit and many times top the ball and hit a roller. At least that's what I've done in the past.

Don't overthink it.
Practice. Practice. Practice.
Practice. Practice. Practice.

Left eye on the ball, left arm straight, don't turn your head until you've hit the ball. I said this assuming youre righty.
Also, smoke a joint 10 minutes before hand.

I played today.
Played poorly, but it was better than working.

Obviously it's important to learn how to at least hit the ball, bit if you are trying to improve your score, practicing your putting and chipping is easily the biggest way to improve.
Put yourself near the green in two shots. Get up on the green and two putt for a bogey worst-case vs. getting near the green, blading or chunking a chip and chipping again, then three-putting for a triple.
Obviously it won't be that drastic every time, but I've seen friends who weren't big golfers shave a stroke a hole off their game by finally working on the short game and putting.

I suggest you acquire some Canadian Club as it makes your swing appear better.

Ty told the story making Noonan think he was the one night putting with the dean's daughter but then told him it was his college roommate, Mitch.

Get rid of them immediately and never again trust the person that talked you into getting them in the first place.

Don't take it to serious and get some lessons.

This guy is on the money. If you're just starting out, buy a lot of golf balls, you're gonna need them. Go hack away on the driving range as much as you can. You just took the first step to an addiction you can't fix but don't take it too serious, it's a game that can't be won.
