Talk to a pro, get a lesson, and get properly fit for clubs. There's no sense using a baseball bat or glove that is meant for someone of a totally different build, and golf equipment is the same. You don't need a full set. Irons tend to come in full sets for adults, but if you can get a half-set, and are happy with it, there's no problem with it. Get the irons and a putter. Play the par-3s courses a bit. Savor the experience. Move up to executive courses. Get a driver, a hybrid, and some friends and play a regulation course. Dazzle them with your fantastic short game built up from these. In short, get the right equipment and go have fun. That's good advice for most any sport.
