"Golf is a competition against oneself, the golf course and the conditions presented. The tools, games and drills in Trent's book allow a golfer to mimic that same type of competition."
-- Zach Johnson; 2007 Masters Champion

"Your book provides valuable information/ideas to golfers who are looking to improve their games and reach their highest potential. As I tell my guys all the time, you have to 'Practice like a Champion' if you want to 'Play like a Champion'. To do that, you must practice like you play and play like you practice!"
-- Brad Sparling; Duke Men's Golf

"The drills are excellent and so needed for coaches, instructors, and players who need applied methods for TRANSFERRING golf skills."
-- Dr. Rick Jensen; Performance Center at PGA National

"This book has been key in our practices and how we are now playing the game. It keeps the driving range, or should I say, 'the practice course' interesting and the girls are able to practice much more effectively and are much more focused on what they are trying to achieve on an every day basis. I can not begin to tell you how much it has helped with our short game practices. I wish I had this book when I was in college!"
-- Colette Murray; University of Tennessee-Chattanooga

"I just recently ordered your golf book Golf Scrimmages. I have to say that it is wonderful. Thank you for putting this wonderful book together that so many golfers on all levels can utilize. Again thank you, this book will help us get ready to win our third National Championship."
-- Sara Mobley; Oklahoma City University

"It is rare to find a book that focuses on learning how to score lower without changing your swing, but that is exactly what this book does. The games and drills in this book can help anyone become a better player by creating more fun and effective practice sessions."
-- Keith Lyford; GOLF Magazine Top 100 Teacher and Former PGA Tour Player

"This wonderful book is as complete and interesting as anything I have ever come across. My team will definitely incorporate these games into our practices."
-- Wally Goodwin; Long-time Stanford Men's Golf Coach

"I have used Trent's practice games and drills with my golf program for years and the benefits are immeasurable. The competitiveness created by these games and the required focus better prepares every player for tournament golf."
-- Sammie Chergo; University of Denver Women's Head Coach & Two-time Sun Belt Conference Coach of the Year

"I have been impressed with its contents and the team members have also found it a very effective way to liven up their practice. There is nothing else like it on the market. I will continue to recommend it to other coaches too. Good work."
-- Denise Larson; Utah Valley State

This book has received remarkable accolades because it is a perfect match for golfers of every ability level as well as golf coaches and teaching professionals. Its 230 pages mainly consist of nearly 100 games that help golfers practice the types of shots encountered on the course while at the same time under the same pressure that is felt on the course. Many of the games have two or three versions giving the book approximately 200 games in total. With this many competitive practice games you’re sure to find plenty of new ones along with some familiar ones that have an added twist.

It is crucial to practice in the same environment in which you’re going to play. To do this, two components must be introduced to your practice – Pressure and Physical Conditions that are similar to the golf course. Pressure is applied through a scoring system, a goal and a consequence if that goal is not attained or a simple contest against a friend. Physical Conditions found on the course must also be present. This includes different lies, awkward stances, various situations and circumstances as well as varying your club and target. A lack of these components is why so many golfers have a hard time transitioning a respectable game to the course. It creates a wider division between the practice tee and the first tee. The games within this book are what make practice more similar to playing and therefore more meaningful and effective. A description of every game in the book along with its rules and variations are clearly laid out. Additionally, a color photo complements almost every game in the book. The chapters preceding the games discuss the importance of proper practice, adding pressure, how to turn the practice facility into the golf course and how athletes in other sports prepare, by scrimmaging.
