Irons go the same distance?

Irons go the same distance?

I am just starting to learn golf, I can't afford lessons right now so I turned to the internet. I am doing ok with my woods, but all my irons seem to go the same distance, anybody know of anything that can help me get the proper ranges from my clubs?

I am playing with a set of King Cobra II Oversize irons, Walter Hagen 10.5 driver and a Slazenger 3-wood (can't remember it's loft)

   Most beginners lack an understanding of how important the basic fundamentals are to playing golf. The basics include grip, alignment, posture, ball placement between the feet, and weight placement.

   From there, you need to learn how to turn away from the ball properly(Shoulder turn) as you draw the club back.

   Play short irons mid stance, mid irons one ball forward of mid stance, long irons two balls forward of mid stance, fairway woods same as long irons or a bit more forward and the driver is played just on the front heel.

   Weight shift is important as is hip turn. These not only get you into to the right position to deliver the hit, but, they help create the force to launch the ball.

   Your troubles may be playing the ball towards the back foot and you get very little shoulder turn back or through the ball. Mostly an arm swing with active hands and an incorrect weight shift.

   If you want to learn quicker, go to your nearest book store and search for a book that gives step by step instruction along with color photos. Mimic those moves. Follow the directions. Be patient, it takes time to develop the feel. Good luck.

   A lesson will cost about as much as a round of golf. Why not take a lesson in place of a round once in a while. All the tips we can give you here are basically useless unless we can look at your swing.

   Shop around, you might get a good deal at a driving range, and some pros have group lessons.

   I can't emphasize enough, take a lesson. If you can afford a set of clubs, greens fees, and all the extras that go with golf then you can afford a lesson or two. You will not regret it.

   FYI the 3 wood is probably 15*. If all of your irons are going the same distance, you are doing many things wrong. Most likely you are not hitting the ball right on the club face. Go to pga.com and check out their videos for some quick and free instruction. They have some videos there that will help you with the basics.
