I have been working with this system for several months now. I am having trouble being consistent especially when I am on the course. On the range, I practice drills, watch videos, hit balls and just about anything that I can do to improve. Proper practice makes perfect. Is there something that I can do to create consistency in my swing on the course? I really have to slow down to get the proper movement. Thought anyone?

Play more rounds of golf and less range practice! I can sneak out out on a slow day and play 9 holes for $20 walking in about 90 minutes. It about the same as a bucket of balls and way more enjoyable... I do swing into a net nearly every day though. I think just getting more used to being on the course will be a big help!
From my perspective and experience is that you have already recognized it. Slow down. Slow your thought process, back swing and on course management. If you have practiced, now just play golf. Take your practice swing and visualize your shot. You will be surprised.
@montyrocha - There has been quite a bit of dialogue in the Forum on the topic of how to transport "Ranger Rick" to the golf course. We all experience that! All I can tell you is that it is part of the process - and a complete swing change is a major process - so if your practice mode is delivering consistently solid results then it's just a function of time in terms of when/how that will translate itself to the course. As confidence in your swing grows you should find more and more that you are playing "golf" instead of "golf swing" on the course, at which point your mechanical thoughts will be reduced to one or two at the most, and you will be nearly entirely focused on your target and not your swing. An excellent book that may help you with this is "Fearless Golf: Conquering the Mental Game" by Dr. Gio Valiante.
Have your recorded yourself on the course? Just to make sure you're swinging the club correct? If you're having success on the range, but not the course I would guess it's because at the range you have alignment aids, a perfect flat lie, etc. Things that ensure you're setup to the golf ball properly. On the course, you don't have those things so it could be as simple as checking your alignment and ball position.
