I am topping with my driver and 3 wood, everything else appears fine
and my irons are crisp and centered, its really hurting my scores and
p-ing me off as I am barely getting it of the end of the tee, any
ideas to consider before I see my Pro next week?

barely getting to the end of the tee? That's got to be lifting your head, 
probably due to anxiety now that you're doing it so often!

I was topping everything this weekend for 6 holes, it's very frustrating, 
especially since I had my best round ever last weekend, when I shot 78, to 
go from that to 97 in a week just made me want to cry!

LHC.

As a totally unqualified opinion, try to use a 3/4 swing and stop trying 
to blast it into space. Let your club do the work. You'll be surprised 
and your back swing probably won't be as short as you think it is!

If you really really insist, you can gradually add a bit more power to 
see what happens.

HTH and good luck

Play your normal shot, but 'stare' at the ball for as long as
possible, this will keep your head down, without you needing to
concentrate on keeping it down. The object is to keep your head still
not down. This works for me whenever I slip back into old habits,
whatever club I use.
