I'd say to take a 45 minute / 1hr lesson at any course. Just ask the pro shop for their 1hr rates and go from there. Soak up and learn as much as you can within the hour.

Then go to the library and check out 3-4 books. (They all pretty much say the same thing) Or go to the bookstore, pick up a book and re-read it a few times. Then it's practicing your butt off...
