A few stats would be helpful. From what it sounds like, you could try a few different things. One would be to improve driver accuracy, but it sounds like that's not too bad. Since your missing GIR, the easiest way to knock shots off your score is to get really good at green side chipping. Figure out your average distance from ball to green after you missed the green on your approach shot, and spend hours chipping around the green from that distance and in. Do this for a couple weeks.

By the time you have done this, you will know how to manipulate ball flight and ball spin to the point that chipping will seem as natural as picking the ball up and tossing it onto the green. This should in turn lead to a lot more up and downs.

As a secondary item to the chipping, really work on your 5-10 foot putts. You will find that it doesn't take too long to always chip the ball within 5-10 feet, so if you are good at the length of putt, your up and down chance is higher.
