Consistency comes with practice. I know that seems like a "cop out" answer, but it really is there. The other thing that I can tell anybody that wants to get more consistency is to practice short game and most do not spend a ton of time with it. Its amazing to see people miss shots and rather than even coming close to getting up and down, they waste another 4 shots around the green. Chipping and shots inside of 30 yards can change the way a person scores and help eliminate big numbers.

Another thing I can tell you that worked with me is eliminating the big number. Hit a bad shot? Take your lumps and play to a number and take the bogey. Double bogeys kill amateur golfers because we do not birdie enough to make up for them. Try and eliminate any number higher than a 5 on the score card by playing to numbers that leave shots you are comfortable with.
