Golfing board: dropping from mid 80s to sub 80s?

What did you work on or improve the most when finding your score consistently drop from mid 80s into the 70s when golfing? I get off the tee well, hit my mid irons good enough, and am more consistent in my short game but have been stuck in that 83-86 range for a long time. Can't seem to bust it. Advice?

I'm at the same point.

Putting, putting, putting
That or just play 3 less holes
ETA: also avoid the big number on the score card. Look for safe bail outs and if you're in trouble just play the safe play no matter what

When I'm playing like that there's two reasons. One or two big numbers and not getting up and down around the green at a regular clip.

Short game and putting. /thread
Just think about it: if you go from two putting every green to two putting half, that's 9 strokes shaved per round. A lot of pars can be saved if you can reach the green in 3 knowing you can sink that putt.

As everyone else said. Short game, short game, short game.

The biggest way to drop quickly for me was two things. Eliminate 3 putts and eliminate trouble off the tee. If you can knock those two aspects out, you essentially limit double and triple bogey from your game and your scores should plummet.

Of course short game and putting are the stroke savers but ask yourself this;
How often am I past the pin or over the green on my approach shot and how often an I short of the green?
If you are like 95% off the people I've played golf with and watched you are not only short of the pin you are short of the green. The reason most people come up short they get yardage to the pin and select the club they hit that distance when the hit it PERFECTLY.
Experiment with selecting a club that we'll get you to the back of the green and see how that works.

Chipping and putting. Keeping left foot planted helps big time off the tee and hitting greens.
