I've heard that Trevino had a cut on his thumb and started using a bandaid on it. When the cut healed, he kept the bandaid because he liked the feel. He tried to get a sponsorship from the Bandaid company but they declined. He then switched to tape. Well, that's what I heard somewhere. I can't remember if it was from an interview with him or second hand or an old wives tale. The mind goes as we age. I think.

This is probably true. There has never been a more avid self-marketer on tour than Trevino. On the weekend preceding the 1970 PGA Championship, I went to the only indoor shopping mall in town. Inside, Trevino and his wife had set up a table. He was hitting wiffle balls down the long shop lined hallway and selling autographed pics of himself for $10.
