DW started golfing last year at 64. She is now hooked.
So, here's my two cents:
1) If you are truly interested and of average size then you can either buy a used set or get a starter set. I'm not in the camp of going through club fitting so early in the process. I bought my wife the starter set and until she decided to commit, I didn't want to make the investment. For Christmas/Birthday I spent a decent sum completely outfitting her and I will say clubs do make a difference.
2) I think an initial set of group lessons which are very sensible in cost are a good start. Get the basics down and play some rounds to incorporate what you've learned. Then if you feel like it's something you want to continue improving on then by all means take some private lessons.
It's a great social sport. Gives you lots of time to learn about others. Have made a ton of new friends since I joined a club a few years ago.
I find that few people can be molded into a perfect swing especially taking the game on later in life. Many times there are physical issues (my wife has back issues) that limit your swing. The goal of a golf pro is to have you play as well as possible within the parameters he's been given.
