“Understanding the Golf Swing covers virtually every phase of the game—in the same common-sense and simple approach. It is a must-read for every golfer.” —Tommy Aaron, PGA Tour professional and 1973 Masters champion.

This full-color modern classic of golf instruction by teaching pro Manuel de la Torre (former PGA Teacher of the Year and Golf Digest ranked teacher) presents a simple approach to the golf swing based on Ernest Jones’s widely praised principles.

Understanding the Golf Swing includes information on the philosophy of the golf swing (with emphasis on the development of a true swinging motion), the most thorough analysis of ball flights available, and analysis of the principles of special shot play (including sand play, pitching, chipping, putting, and playing unusual shots) and the mental side of golf and effective course management.

The final chapter offers an organized approach to understanding golf courses and playing conditions. The result is a blend of philosophy and practical advice found in few golf instructional books.

Manuel de la Torre is a legend among golf teachers and a member of the World Golf Hall of Fame. The leading proponent of Ernest Jones’s swing principles, Manuel was head professional at Milwaukee Country Club from 1951 to 1996. He was PGA Teacher of the Year in 1986 and a four-time Wisconsin Professional of the Year. He was ranked #11 among American golf teachers by the editors of Golf Digest in 2007. De la Torre passed away in 2016 at the age of ninety-four. Carol Mann is a former LPGA golfer and two-time major winner. She was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1977. Gary D'Amato is an award-winning sports columnist for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
