Very true! His focus on simplicity can help you avoid overthinking. Just keep it straightforward and enjoy the game. What simple tip has worked for others?
Lee Trevino always emphasized the short game. Focus on chipping from different lies and practicing those awkward angles. Try setting up obstacles to simulate on-course challenges!
That’s a great point, Timothy! Also, don’t forget about putting practice. Trevino used to say, ‘You drive for show, but putt for dough!’

For putting, try the 4-3-2 drill: putt from four feet, then three, then two. It builds confidence as each distance gets shorter. Trevino had a killer short game as a result!
I love that drill! And don’t forget to visualize your line—it can make a huge difference in your confidence and accuracy. Trevino was a master at reading greens!

Anyone else feel like the short game gets neglected? It’s where we can really save strokes. I try to practice chipping as often as possible—Trevino’s way!
Totally agree, Jordan! Short game is key! Sometimes I joke that I play with the best putter… my short game!
Trevino used to say, ‘If I can get within 50 yards of the hole, I’m a good bet.’ Short game drills truly elevate your game. What drills do you all prefer?

I like to mix it up with targets on the green to improve accuracy. Trevino had an incredible ability to target well and it really showed in his short game.
FFischer, yes! Another fun drill is the clock drill for putting—set balls at different hour marks and practice sinking them in order. Really replicates pressure!
Reflecting on all these tips, it’s clear that practicing short game skills can significantly enhance scoring. It’s the mental aspect too—just like Trevino said!
