Was able to start driving the ball 150-200 yards and fairly consistent straight near the end of the session.
I live in Phoenix and everyone here says I should be golfing at least occasionally as the valley is loaded with courses. Not really sure where I go from here if I wanted to attempt playing. Pay for a few more lessons? Just go out and play a short course? Start hitting the driving range every week, which I found out is located conveniently .5 miles from my house (link below)? Looks like a fairly cool place.

Almost every gold course has a Pro that can give you lessons. Take them, they'll save a lot of grief.
As for should you play? In the AZ? Oh hell yes!!! Low humidity means good golf! And get a push cart, it's the best way to golf IMO... And invest in a Garmin golf watch. Refurbished = cheap, and when you have a push cart and know how far you hit a ball (if you miss the fairway), you can walk straight online with where you hit it, and know when to start looking. My Garmin gold watch has paid for itself in found golf balls.
Take your smoker with you and dump it into one of the ponds. That way you can LOL every time you walk buy it.
