Taking up Golf

[Gooner Spy]

Not sure if there are many golfers around here, but just in case, I thought I might solicit some advice. I have been thinking about taking it up for a while, and would like to go ahead with it and take the plunge. Can anyone provide some pointers on the following:

• Should I buy some clubs before I start so I can get used to the, rather than using different rental clubs each time?
  
• Obviously lessons would be the starting point, but approx how many would a beginner need till he can think about playing a course?
  
• How much should you look to pay for a basic starter set of clubs? Where is the best place to look for these?
  
• Is it worth the expense and hassle? I can be quite short fused so I have a lingering doubt that I would have the right temprament for it!!
  

Any hints, tips etc gratefully received!
