I am the same way. The only time I go to the range is to warm up before a round or to fix something that creeped up during the last round. I NEVER look for instruction. I can usually correct the problem on my own given enough time. My suggestion if you are this way is if you have time you want to spend practicing, spend it on and around the putting/chipping green. You can never work hard enough there.

Quick story: My dad quit golf because it got too frustrating to him. He played for 12 years while I was growing up and never shot better than high 80's. He would spend 2 days out in the back yard with the newest issue of Golf Digest to "fix his swing". This happened almost every month. Too much going on in the head to play golf.
