Symptom:  Unproductive practice sessions at the driving range.
Description:  Don't hit the golf ball off the grass at the range (or the green matts, for that matter).  Tee up your golf ball on the grass instead.  Tee the ball to an appropriate height for each club.
Why it works:  Small variations in the lie of the golf ball on the ground make a big difference in the sort of shot you can hit.  Even the pros can't hit good shots out of divots in the fairway, so why would you expect to?  Most golf courses have excellent grass in comparison to most driving ranges, so your driving range practice should account for this.

By teeing up the golf ball, you have a known (perfect) lie each and every time.  This consistency is necessary for you to improve your game.  Switch to hitting golf balls off the grass only after you've honed your golf swing to your satisfaction.  But, be very careful to give yourself a good lie on the grass for your shot when you do hit off the grass.
