Where does it go wrong?

Most people have more problem (on long putts) with distance rather than direction. Do you leave your first putt very short or very long. If so, just practise putting to a 3 foot circle (around the hole). Or ignore the hole and putt to the fringe from various distances and try and leave ball just short of the edge.

If its the 3 - 6 footers you're missing then set yourself targets - for instance putt from north, south, east and west of a hole from 3, 4 and 5 foot but don't move to the next putt until you've holed 3 in succession from each spot. The need to move on replicates the pressure of the course more than you'ld think.

If you misread the break - again for most by under estimating it - then try finding your line and always hit outside it.

I find Dave Pelz a bit technical for my liking but, based on a suggestion here, I've found a copy of Watsons "40 yard and in" book - throughly recommend it.

And one last thing, I think it was Mrs Hogan who told her husband that the best way to improve his putting was to get the ball closer in the first place!
