hi john
welcome to the site.
one thing i think makes a big difference is that at the range we are hitting off a perfect lie every time.
no uphill/downhill lies or ball above or below feet lies that we encounter on the course and you can get away with a lot more hitting off a mat.
ie if you hit a shot fat on the course you get a low shot with no distance whereas at the range you still get a reasonable shot away because the mat is solid!
try to find a range with a grass practise area
