Don't know what you're doing but course corrections shouldn't be too difficult. Draw a line 10 degrees off your course from each of your destination points. That will tell you how far off course you are - if you're half way simply double it for your course correction. I wouldn't bother making course corrections of less then 10 degrees so wait until you're far enough off course before making a correction (and make sure you're doing from a point you can positively identify). Draw the direction of the wind on your chart so you can visualise what's going on.
If all else fails don't be ashamed to use IFR techniques ( I Follow Roads ).
