Work on a good strong release and hit thru the ball not at it.
All the best. |

While I agree with kiwi that you probably need to be more agressive, I'll state alongside with Bonzi that technique is your key.
As a 6', 250lb guy who can bench a good deal and leg press a great deal, strength wasn't my problem (but my 150 yd club was my 5i, and my driver would only go ~200 yds).
A couple of lessons later and I had added 20 yards to my
irons, and 60 yards to my driver.
Take the lessons. Get your technique down. Then work on speed and strength.
Good on ya for not wanting to overswing, however, you might want to at least swing at your natural limit!
