Even though your potential for the game of golf is indeed significant do not rush and buy the most expensive equipment immediately. Golf is complicated sport and requires many pieces of different clubs. Majority of manufacturers will advertise last technology equipment. Without much doubt their products are fine but not exactly what you need to get.
Good start is to look for outdated or well preserved second hand equipment.(Google, CraigList to eBay ,garage sales and so on) If you find good second hand pieces you will save hunderds and hunderds of dollars.
Sometimes it is about the club you really want to have. In that case just wait few days after realising the product to the market and than start your search.
Same goes for golf balls. Instead of buying Pro V 1 (almost 5$ a piece) purchase Top Flite-if you get 15 of them you end up paying a buck for piece. As a beginer just think how many of them you are going to lose while practicing and how much sense it makes.
As a beginer place your playing schedule in the afternoon and dusk. saturday and Sunday mornings are always booked and very expensive. Your search should be based on easier time to get and lawer price to pay. There are some places known for their last minute discounts. Sometimes you can get a tee time there and enjoy
Be careful around pro shops. Thay are known for their over priced lists of products. Gloves, ball marker tools, tees and so on you can buy at Wal Mart or Target for 50% less.
When you are done with the equipment take your time, learn the basics of sport and you will have a blast.
