I'm absolutely new to the sport. Upon searching on topics and where to begin, it's easy to become overwhelmed. There is so much out there and a lot of which contradicts each other. I was hoping someone here could help me on where to begin? I purchased a set of Cleveland 588 altitude irons (4-PW), Cleveland 588 driver, Cleveland 588 5 wood, Cleveland Rotex 56 sand wedge, and a Cleveland Classic 1.0 putter. So I think I have the equipment covered for getting started. I also picked up a Jef chipping net to use in the yard when I'm not able to go to the range. Any suggestions on where to begin, what to practice, any drills that will help, etc? I have a slice in my drive, which I think is caused by a combination of me leaving the club face open and not swinging on a plane. I also have a problem with not staying down on the ball and topping it, with my irons. My short game is HORRIBLE. I chip from one side of the green to other. There is no one in my area that offer lessons. We only have one local course and it's less than average at best. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I'm currently using a Jef chipping net. I'm also looking for a mat though. My wife isnt happy with my divots. Lol.
