Golf problem can you help?

I played golf a lot when I was little than stopped for 4 or 5 years and played baseball, but now im going back to golf. I just spent a year getting my swing back and have a series short game/ iron problem. I am 15 and 120 pounds and can hit my driver an average of 245-280 yds. I can hit my 3 wood about 200 yds and 5 wood 185 yds. I can chip pretty well but I cant really put and I cant hit my 3,4,5,6,and 7 iron. I can hit my 8 about 155yds and my 9 about 120yds. I have done everything, private lessons, videos, practice. I know I still have some of my baseball swing in it but how can I get better? I am using callaway forged x-14 irons 3-PW and X-22 woods and an FT-9 driver and im a lefty. Please help.

I had your same problem. What I learned is that you really have to think about leg position and technique.

When I first started, I had the problem of hooking either left or right with any club, because I was so used to a baseball swing, but then I got that fixed but I still couldn’t hit it. So I took private lessons and I found this out

When you are swinging irons, it is not the same swing as a wood or driver or you will go over the top of the ball and dribble it 20 yards. You have to chop at it. Basically, you need to make a divot. If you make a divot with an iron, you swung right. Remember that.

To practice, just take practice swings before swinging and make sure you will take a divot with the swing, not sweeping and barely chopping the grass. If you do this your iron shots should be fine.

Also, don’t take divots with woods, those are bad. Irons are good to take divots, woods are not.

But if you still have trouble, go back to lessons and ask about how to consistently take divots with irons, it would really help.
