Anything custom may actually hurt your starting game because a custom set is for someone who has typically developed their own swing plane and a swing speed.
Slice: google how to 'fix' it. Otherwise, you can try turning over/close your grip. Smooth and even rotation thru a swing plane is key.
Shortgame: dedicate a day(s) with just the short clubs. Leave the long irons at home, seriously. Having a driver and long irons is extremely hard to ignore especially when the guy next to you is hitting long bombs. Play a short 9-hole with just the short irons. Challenging yet very rewarding.
Confidence: practice!!! Play as many 9-holes as you can get. Don't even count your score to speed things up. If you feel you played a nice 9-hole, your score will reflect it as well. Counting the score or not.

Played and replayed Rancho De Pueblo GC 9-hole yesterday. Thanks for the tips! I amazed myself on a few holes
