Trinity Forest rewards discipline and clear decision-making. Practice your lag putting and low-trajectory punch shots before arriving. Carry a hybrid or long iron that you can use for bump-and-run shots from off the green. Ensure your club selection accounts for at least 10 to 20 yards of bounce and roll on every approach.
