After you play a few events and get to know the people who are competing in your area, you'll know where you belong. It's pretty easy to monitor the scores at PDGA tourneys and other locally operated leagues and unsanctioned events and rank yourself.
I'd say if you can throw 350'-400' after a year and consider yourself a good golfer with more potential, then bump up. There's nothing to learn in Rec, and little to gain. People playing Rec are not the competitive types and are typically just there for fun.
How much your nerves get to you during tourney pressure is something that's largely hardwired into your personality. Hopefully, with more experience, they'll go away. Not everyone is a serious competitor though, and some people are just head cases that never "get it".
