I'm a beginner that is trying to learn the game of golf. I haven't played a round yet, but I go to the driving range whenever I get the chance.

I've paced myself buying clubs and have tried focusing on the ones that I have. I currently have a 2007 Taylormade Burner Driver, 4-9,SW,&PW; Taylormade Burner Plus, and a Odyssey White Ice Two Ball F-7 putter.

Since Christmas is around the corner I would like to ask for a club or two. I'm not really sure what to ask for. What would be some good suggestions? Whatever I choose it will probably used since I am just trying to feel my way around now.

Looks like you could probably use a fairway metal and/or a hybrid or two.  Go to your local golf shop and hit several, find the one you like the best, then ask for that one.

Thats what confuses me. I don't know what to focus on. If I got one club would it be better to get a 3W or 3H?

5w or 3/4 hybrid. You are looking for a club for long par 3s and 2nd shots on par 5s.

Since I already have a 4I should I look at a 3H if I go the hybrid route?

Only if you can hit the 4 iron. There are a lot of guys out there that hit the 4/5 iron about the same distance.  For those guys you buy the hybrid. Personally I prefer the 5 wood to the hybrid but that is a personal choice/failing.

Hitting the ball is problem I have, but that's not exclusive to my 4 iron. LOL

You might try a 5W for starters. It will carry a bit longer than a hybrid, but you can still use it out of light rough. With just one longer club other than the driver, you will get plenty of time to practice it and use it. This will get you through the first season.

Next season, try to visit a golf expo and hit a variety of longer clubs. This will give  you an idea of which ones would benefit you, looking ahead to Christmas 2013.

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.

      Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings.

      IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
