The other tips in the thread are all spot on -- I was struggling with some pretty bad alignment close to a year ago, and adopting the "target a couple inches in front of the ball" technique helped a ton.

One tip on practicing alignment on the range... I used those alignment sticks* you often see the pros using, but instead of laying it down perfectly aligned, I'd try to set myself up with a ball in front of me, "aimed" at my target. Then I'd lay the alignment stick down up against my toes, back off and see where I was really aligned. It helped me be sure I was aligned where I thought I was.

* The alignment sticks I use are driveway markers from Home Depot, available for ~$1.50 apiece.
