Mark,
Go to a golf shop & try out a few rescue / hybrid clubs that you would normally hit 4 - 5 irons to see if this helps. Probably not what you were looking for but it's a start.

Thought this was going to be a beatles number "please please please help me"..
3 and 4 irons would be a widish stance with ball off front heel then swing through the ball.
Problem is because its a 3 iron people tend to try and knock the ball senseless which results in regrets..
Nice steady tempo letting the club do the work...

Something else to consider with regards to the 7 iron idea Mark. If you take 3 to the green on a par 4 and 4 to the green on a par 5 and two putt every hole, that's bogey golf and a handicap of 18. Most higher handicaps, myself included, are guilty of trying to gross birdie every hole and that's where we get into trouble. My aim now is to give myself a par putt on every hole. If I can do that and 2 putt every time, I'm going to go round 18 over.
The difficult bit is not letting greed and ambition take over when you know that you can hit that green with your 4 iron.....

Chris,
I'd say the difficult bit is hitting the ball straight & finding the fairway in the 1st place, you aint gonna have many par putts when your chipping out of the trees or dropping one by the pond!!!!
