Course management, playing to your strengths on the course and overcoming your weaknesses on the range. Distance will come, but right now you need to focus on hitting fairways and greens and eliminating big numbers from your scorecard.
For example, if you're not comfortable hitting a a long iron or 3 wood off the deck then layup and with a club you're comfortable with. You'll shoot better scores by laying up to 100 yards and pitching it close than you will trying to hit a miracle shot from the fairway. Buddy of mine goes for every par 5 in 2 and 90% of the time he hits into a hazard or puts himself in a terrible position for his third shot. The few birdies and rare eagles he makes don't come to close to cancelling out the bogeys, doubles, triples, and others he has made by not having some basic course management.

I always try to avoid the big number
A putt for double bogey still counts so don't just angrily blow it by the hole and then get upset that you shot over 95 again
My goals are to keep it in play and to get up and down
Being consistent with a wedge in your hand is very key
It's a scoring club and you want to use it to your advantage when you're in close. Know how to hit different shots with it too. Sometimes you want it to roll out, sometimes you want it to land soft
