Now down the driving range, i can hit my 7 iron pretty consistent 9 / 10 balls.

The difference is on the course you are very aware of attempting to get the ball reasonably close to the hole...I'll wager that on the range you are not as target-focused and just hit the ball. So the quick and dirty answer is hit the ball in the fairway 140 out, take out your 7 iron, line up and hit the ball...if you do this well the target problem will take care of itself. Waaaay better than skullin' it.
catch phrases:
Think long, think wrong.
Just do it.
Grip it and rip it (I don't like this one as much because it suggests aggression which I generally don't advise)
The point is - don't worry about the target...
choose the right club
go thru your range routine/choose the right line
hit it full
analyze/accept the results
If this ever gets old/boring/too easy
then start dialin' it in.
