I think most of my game is pretty well in order. I have a little bit of a fade/slice nothing major but as I'm now playing better courses its something I need to sort. Some of these fairways are so tight no forgiveness at all.

Have you thought of using that to your advantage?

At times certainty it helps but dog leg right holes and really narrow fairways its getting tougher and tougher.

I can certainty make it worse by opening my stance yet closing my stance makes no difference. its weird hence hard to explain

I'm currently working on keeping my arms more relaxed through the swing and maintaining the hinge in my wrists for longer.

So at the range the other day, I thought I would try to keep my chin up slightly higher so that my left shoulder could easily slide underneath it on the backswing.
Doing that, along with working on maintaining the hinge, immediately resulted in extra distance.
Then working on improving my draw which tends to be my natural shot shape (outside of the massive slice I have with the driver)
I'd say that 60-70% of the time the ball went where it was supposed to go ...

Looking forward to another range session and then testing it all out on the course under the pressure of comp!

The thing about hitting balls in the range is you can tinker, hit 10 shots i a row with the same club. You can't do that in a round. Good to work on stuff but also as with any practice, try to make it game specific. So image playing one of your par 5's. Hit driver, 4 iron, wedge just to break up your practice. Then imagine those 3 shots on your course.... are you on the green?

This. Been on 11 for a while, and keen to crack the single figures, but only way is to play much more regularly.
