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.

The best way to learn how to play is to learn from the green back.
Learn to putt, then chip, then pitch, hit half wedges, and then progress to full shots.
It will teach you the importance of the scoring shots while also showing you how all shots share common movements.
Most people do the exact opposite and start hacking away with a driver when they first begin, which does nothing but ingrain bad habits.
Ideally, you wouldn't even hit a full shot this year.
