Does anyone know the proper way to drive a golf ball?

QUESTION:
I have trying to teach myself how to drive a golf ball for a couple of years now. I still have no success at this present time. My grip and swing are disastrous, what type of aid should I buy to help me overcome these issues? I can’t afford private lessons so please no recommendations of that nature.

well i recomend getting a book, for your grip you want to hold the club in your fingers not your palm because you get more motion, on your back swing, go back until your shoulder hits your chin and dont look back on your backswing keep your eye on the ball at all times, when you go through with your swing dont move your back leg to much then you will lose your balance thats just some basic stuff but i recomned getting book thats filled with methods to improve your game
