Hi John! I am new too. I learned a drill that helped me. I swing the club from 9 o'clock to 3 o'clock sweeping the grass. I was hitting the ground so hard I sprained my pinky!

Anyway, also are you and your wife taking lessons? I have found this to be very helpful. I take a lesson every 2 weeks and try and hit the range 3 to 4 times a week.
