A pretty time-tested drill is to step on a wedge with your trail foot heel. This will help you start your downswing without twisting your hips, which is a common misconception of the golf swing. ▶ this video

Yeah golf is a hard game lol. If you pause at 1:07 you’ll see you’re already on your right toe. You could practice swinging with a wedge under your right foot and try not to step off the wedge until after impact I linked a video about it below ▶ this video

Put your lob wedge under your back heel and hit a few shots. Try not to let it drop until you are following through. Video: ▶ this video
