“Everything I know and teach concerning
the golf swing is from my education and understanding of the golf swing,
importance of communication with the student and clearly understanding and
helping every student achieve their golf objectives. These great qualities and
attributes were taught to me by two of the greatest teachers of the 20th
and 21st century, Manuel de la Torre and the writings of Ernest
jones.” Mark Croft- excerpt from his acceptance speech as the junior leader of
the year January 2010
Manuel and Mark have been friends for
20 years and fellow golf professionals who love to teach the game of golf.
Ernest Jones was Manuel’s teacher and mentor of his understanding of the golf
swing just as Manuel has been Mark’s teacher and mentor of understanding the
golf swing.
Ernest Jones was the greatest golf
instructor of his time. His tiny little Manhattan golf studio was forever
booked one year in advance and not even the greatest amateur to ever play the
game, Bobby Jones could cut in line to get a golf lesson from one of the
greatest teachers of the 20th century. Jones’s approach to the golf
swing was so simple and easy to understand that both professional and amateur
players from around the world would come to learn in awe and leave with a
greater understanding of their swing and their potential.
Manuel de la Torre is one of the most
respected golf teachers in the world. He is presently ranked #16 in world and
top 10 in the United States as a Teaching Professional and has been inducted
into the PGA Hall of Fame and the Golf World Hall of Fame. Manuel’s teaching
philosophy is easy to understand and works for players at every level.
Carol Mann, Ladies Professional Golf
Association member, and LPGA Hall of Fame inductee is one of Manuel’s many
successful professional students, but Manuel’s love of the game remains in
teaching the game of golf to amateurs and teaching golf professionals the
correct way to teach the game of golf. Manuel’s teaching method makes learning
the golf swing so simple and enjoyable that students feel refreshed and
confident when they leave the lesson tee. Manuel and Mark’s relationship and respect
for one another in teaching the game of golf is unique, fresh and a tremendous
opportunity for you. The Jones-De la Torre method works for all players
at any level. If you are a beginner or want to win the next us open we will
help you meet those goals with an affordable and pleasurable golf learning
