I've been told that playing baseball hurts a swing

On my way out right now. The course is actually connected to where I work

Being a good athlete will make you better initially than the average new golfer and help you improve faster to a point. However, baseball swing tendencies often creep in and hurt a golf swing once you get to a certain level.

Real golf tip: spend lots of time on the practice green before a round focusing on getting a good feel for the speed of the green. Get the speed right and you will 3 and 4 putt a lot less. Also, play a little more break in a putt than what you think. If you miss on the high side, it is breaking toward the hole, but if you miss on the low side, it is moving away from the hole.

any reason that I hit irons so much better than a 3 wood?

The shorter the shaft on a club and higher the loft of the club face, the easier it is to hit.
