Hi! Although also a 'beginner', just getting back after almost 15 years hibernation, from experience - I suggest you concentrate on a 7 iron and get your swing going. Also bring along a driver just for fun - but remember it requires a different approach. Don't bring along the whole bag - it's just too heavy to lug around!
Get a good book or video (David Leadbetter series is good) as a guide. Maybe a good idea to get a friend who is more experienced to go with you to the driving range - you probably want to share some laughs as well.
Maybe some coaching too if you feel you need it.
All the best - hope you have fun! I just introduced golf to my three children and they enjoy going to the driving range.
