Its keepin the friggin thing straight thats killing me. It is good fun though out driving mates with a four iron when they're using driver
Too be fair, I can't resist going for Par fives in two aswell which can sometimes put me in a world of pain

Since many of you seem to have some advice, any advice for learning to drive? Also, I struggle to get any power behind my irons...
Go to a driving range.
With the Irons I dont like to sound like a dick but are your clubs any good?
If you get a ***** iron and a good iron the weight diffrence can be alot hence no power

Hitting the driver is the hardest thing in the world - all about getting the correct set up and controlling the swing. Swinging is all about the timing. Also getting irons and driver fitted correctly. Set up naturally with a wide stance with the ball opposite your left heel, - when you hit the driver what normally happens ? A slice ? Hook or a top ?. A lesson and club fitting would work wonders

I've gone to the range, and one day I hit everything straight (only like 200 yards but perfectly straight) and I can't figure out what the f*ck I was doing right because now it goes everywhere. I make adjustments but still slice or hook 90% of the time, and when I do hit it straight it's only 175-200.
To answer your second question, I have the worst clubs in the world. They were my dads from like, the 80's or something and a pawn shop wouldn't take the ***** for free! My distances are awful tho:
9- 125
8- don't really use it
7-130-140
6-140-150
5-140-170 (my go-to club!)
4- 50-150 (Don't even pull it from my bag)
3- 150-180, have hit about 200 with it at max but no nearly consistent as I'd like to be.
Driver- 150-200 when it goes straight, also a very, very poor driver.
How much could better clubs help? And my distances are not fantastically consistent, but is the reason that they are somewhat all over the place just me being a newer, poor golfer? I'm a smaller, very thin guy. Definitely wouldn't consider my self strong at all.

It goes every direction you could imagine. hook, slice, top, the golfer in the stall next to me. How much do you think proper clubs that were fitted and a lesson or two would cost? And is it easy to find somebody that can really help your, or do you need to be careful with who you pick?
