Drive for show, Putt for dough!
Don't worry about getting a big ol' fancy driver... Get yourself a decent set of clubs, typically a 1-3-5 Wood and 3 - PW irons. Once you practice at the driving range a LOT and play some rounds, then worry about getting a big ol' driver!
Schro can chime in because I think he's the SBG Golf Pro...

Newb question: What does the PW stand for when you said PW irons? I was reading up about clubs some- so wood drivers are less precise than irons? They also mentioned composite drivers as being an in-between? I think I'm going to hold off on getting a whole set of clubs till I get my drive down.

That's cool, just look out for the ball coming at your windshield. I can see it now, I'll be the only guy hitting balls backwards, away from the range. :D

The PW stands for Pitching Wedge.
I've dabbled in the golf business and I heard questions like this quite a bit. You can get a starter set of clubs with bag included for around $100-$199. I would suggest getting a set with some hybrid clubs. There is nothing wrong with a Sports Authority or other big box, but try to find a Golf USA, Pro Golf, or Golf Galaxy. They will probably have a better selection of starter sets.

Johnny answered good... 3 iron through Pitching Wedge. The "woods" are not as accurate as the irons because they're longer with more flex in the shaft, but will give you the best distance once you're used to using them.
Don't wait to until you have your drive down to get a whole set of clubs...
