Hi Guys! I've been starting to take golf more seriously as late and would love any advice that could help me hit more consistent shots. My initial thoughts are (though take this with a grain of salt because I'm very new) I think my finishing position is too high over my lead shoulder and my hips might be opening too soon/travel too much down the target line as opposed to on a more rotational axis. I grew up playing baseball, so doing my best to unlearn those habits. Thanks in advance! 

I've been Playing Golf for: ~2 months. Went to the driving range fairly often ~10 years ago, but started to take golf more seriously this year. 
My current handicap index or average score is: Unknown. Likely 100+. Trying to hone my swing before playing on the course. 
My typical ball flight is: Inconsistent. I get a nice draw when I make good contact, but also top the ball/get a nasty hook on occasion. 
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: I hate when I top the ball or impact the ground too early. Trying to work on a more consistent shot.
