One of the most important characteristics that distinguishes a better player from a high handicapper would be their ability to self diagnose while they are playing on the golf course so get used to doing this on the range. As you are hitting shots look at the shot and work out what exactly has happened to create that shot and then relate that back to you as an individual and what you know about your goal swing. So think of your goal swing as a whole, you may have been working on one specific part of it but you still have to look at your goal swing as a whole so if you've just had a slice and the ball's gone out to the right and miss the fairway a better player will think about their swing as a whole, think about what the club face is like impact, how that relates to their swing path and then make the alteration ready for the next shot or on the next tee. Better players do that very well. Higher handicappers and beginners don't tend to notice what the ball's done other than they've hit a bad shot so get into the habit of self diagnosing what happened on that shot but rather than being frustrated with it learn from it. Work out what the club phase did, work out what the swing path did and then make the correction so that you don't make the same error again. You'll be hitting much better shots in no time.
