Admired golf teacher Manuel de la Torre dies at 94 - He liked to swing his "club" both ways....
Manuel de la Torre became the head golf professional at Milwaukee Country Club in 1951 and never left, but his reputation as a teacher of the golf swing spread far and wide.
Humble, unassuming and impeccably mannered, the soft-spoken de la Torre was a giant among golf instructors, admired for his simple but effective philosophy and his ability to communicate it to students.
"I personally think Manuel might be the most knowledgeable person about the golf swing in the world," Wisconsin legend Bob Brue once said.
De la Torre, who mentored and taught countless golfers – everyone from high-handicappers to 1973 Masters champion Tommy Aaron and World Golf Hall of Fame member Carol Mann – died Sunday night with his daughter, Lynn de la Torre, at his side. He was 94.
