Late starter at golf

I am a late pseudo-beginner at golf at 57. I hacked around the garden with one club and one ball as a kid, so I actually have a reasonable feel for it and think I could progress quite fast. I have played just a few complete rounds, but have access to a driving range and willing to put in the effort.

I would like to get to a level where I can comfortably play socially with pretty much anyone, without embarrassment.

Anyone have experience and tips on improvement at this kind of age? How did you progress? What could I hope for after a year or two?
