Height and Distance

[nedrob]

I downloaded and printed out The Simple Golf Swing on Friday. I am a 49 year old new golfer and went to the driving range on Saturday. A couple of questions:

1. While I was hitting the ball straight and had no curves or slices, I was not getting any height. Most of the shots were line drives, even with the 9 iron. Any suggestions?

2. I was hitting the ball between 60 yards and 110 yards. Even with the woods, I was only getting 110 yards. Is this normal for a first-timer?

I want you to start with the 9 iron. If you are hitting line drives then stand one or two inches closer and let me know if this helped.
