Ok, so maybe it's ok for people to play golf if they truly want to play and become good at it.
So here's what you would be golfers should do. Go buy Ben Hogan's book, Ben Hogan's Five Lessons: The Modern Fundamentals of Golf, and work with that. That is the best instructional book you can buy on golf. He has a way of putting things so that you can understand them. Plus he's the best ball striker of all time. But he's a very humble guy and it shows in the book.
Like Chad said, don't hit the course until you're ready. You have to practice before you can play. This is the one sport where you cannot go out and play without practice. You will suffer.

Hogan is a great ball striker, there's no doubting that, but I'd also like to put a plug in for Golf My Way by his holiness Jack Nicklaus. Not only does he make the game simple, his illustrations and swing progressions are very helpful. I may be revisiting this book very soon, as I'm in need of some soul cleansing.
