I don't want to spend a lot, because I'm just getting started and maybe I'll just really really hate it. But I don't want a piece of crap that's going to break after I take it to the driving range.
So, ladies, what did you start out on? Or guys who might be knowledgeable, what would you suggest?

When you're beginning, it will be important to have a decent set of clubs - many low-end golf sets (especially 'ladies' clubs) are low-grade, poorly cast, and often filled with foam. This makes them light, but really annoying for purposes of hitting the ball - they'll set you back quite a ways when you start to actually hit the ball well.
Depending on how tall you are, it might be best to go with a men's set - honestly, go to a golf shop and ask them to fit you to see if you're better off with shorter women's clubs or full-sized sticks. Make sure you get a 'decent' golf brand (not a "Target brand" or anything) as they'll likely be of better construction. Some brands that aren't "big" (like Taylor Made or Callaway) that deal in full sets for the beginner include Adams, Tommy Armour, and Nicklaus.
Good luck, dude - you're about 2 years away from really being comfortable playing, but it's the best game on Earth (and usually the most frustrating too).
