Need tips on how to improve on my irons

I will start off by saying I am very much a beginner so what I am about to say may have some of you laughing at how awful I am 
I started golfing about 2 years ago with absolutely no previous experience. I have not taken any type of lessons (I intend to after I graduate in May) so I know some of this has to do with the problem I am having. I seem to not hit my irons to save my life. A good hit for me is a line drive. I can not hit it higher than 5 feet off the ground. Anyone have any tips that I can try? I intend on buying a hitting net to practice in my back yard. Any tips or any recommendations on what to buy to help me is appreciated

How old are you? I ask because if you’re older and don’t want/have time to increase swing speed, look at getting hybrids and only carrying 3-4 irons excluding wedges.
Also, if you’re having trouble getting the irons in the air you’re probably hitting everything thin. Concentrate on a descending blow. Your divot should start where the ball was lying and finish 2-3 inches in front of the ball.

Are you good at any other sports? I ask because a lot of the basic philosophies can transfer over.

Hit down on the ball. If you do that the ball will get off the ground.

I can't link the video unfortunately since Youtube is blocked at work but I'd encourage you to look up "Adam Bazalgette" on youtube and watch his videos. The guy is an incredible instructor and is super relatable to the beginner golfer.

Go take lessons from a competent pro. The fix could be something simple. Taking a bunch of random swing tips and trying to implement them all will make your problems worse. It’s like reaching into a medicine cabinet blindfolded and just taking whatever bottle you grab.

I would save up and get a lesson. One lesson could make a world of difference for a beginner like you and make golf far more enjoyable
