This is great input!Obviously if you can shave 3 putts per round you will get to scratch right there. In my past when I improved from a 2-4hc to a 0-2 there was no magic my game just tightened up overall. I hit one more fairway, one more green and my short game got better. I got up and down more often and I putted better.
Regarding putting I think the key is reading the green. Back then I improved mine by talking with the best putter I knew about what he did and how he read the green and made sure I gave it my full attention on each hole. I picked an exact spot to roll each putt no matter the length. At your level I would guess that you generally get the ball on the right line and your speed is decent but you don't pick the correct line.
I am not sure how to fix that for you. Frankly it is something that needs to improve for me right now. I have thought about investigating Aimpoint. I have played with a couple of Champions Tour guys that use it and frankly it makes some sense but it is an investment to figure out.
The other thing that sounds intuitive is improving your chipping/short game. If you hit 3 more chips a round closer to the hole you will shave putts off your game.
