SS - as others have said, work your way from pitching wedge back up to 3 wood. Leave the driver in the bag until you are comfortable hitting the 3 wood consistently. When I first started out, I hit 5 wood off the tee because I was consistently in the fairway with it.

For me, I'm much more comfortable with my odd number clubs so if I go to the driving range, I'll leave them in the bag and hit wedge, 8, 6, 4, 3 instead of wedge, 9, 7, 5, 3 (I always hit wedge and I'm very clumsy with my 3 iron). I might hit my last 10-20 with my driver, but take my time in doing so to unwind a bit.

And if your driving range has it, go hit off the grass. Those turf mats are great for consistent lie, but you won't have that consistency when playing on a course.

And for reference I'm about 175 with my 5 iron and 150 or so with my 7 iron. I remember when I first started being around 150 with my 5 iron...
