Revolution Golf Senior Instructor

I first met Peter Croker over 20 years ago at a coaching seminar he hosted for the Southern California PGA. During that seminar, I immediately knew he had a more refined way of educating professionals and amateurs about the skills necessary to build an enjoyable golf game. His passion for the game showed in the careful words he used to explain how to train a player around solid, reliable swing mechanics. Over the years, I’ve enjoyed my friendship with Peter. I include him as one of my Coaching Mentors and I’m better for knowing him. He’s a classy gentleman who cares for others and still lights up when we talk about golf.

Swings of the Week – 3 More British World Number One Golfers


Lee Westwood #1 for 22 weeks in 2010


Ian Woosnam #1 for 50 week 1991 -92


Rory McIlroy #1 for more than 100 weeks


Rory McIlroy more

Here is a list of very famous golfers: Tiger Woods, Dustin Johnson, Danny Willett, Rory McIlroy, Brooks Koepka, Jim Furyk, Francis Molinari, Jason Day and Justin Rose. What do these star players have in common?

Yes, all these guys are Major Champions.

But ALL OF THEM have had back problems or joint pain!

Please note: a healthy spine is critical to being able to play golf your entire life. Certain golf swing techniques put an incredible strain on your back and twist the whole body. Don’t end up in pain as these famous golfers have. Get the exact method on how to put minimal strain on your body while improving the power of your swing!

The Lower Body turning against the Upper Body leads to stress on the back.
With the Croker Golf Swing back stress is minimal.

“… advocates that the body moves in an anatomically efficient manner. Correct posture during stance, backswing, and finish enable the golfer to hit the ball powerfully, placing less stress on the lower lumbar spine“.
Russ B. Smith
Head Physiotherapist 1996 Australian Olympic Team

“Biomedically sound“.
Fred J. Dolan
Executive Director
American Flexibility Institute

“If you want to improve your consistency and add years to your golfing life, I recommend you give the Croker Key to Golf System a go.“
Wayne Stevenson (Age 68)

WHY YOU SHOULD CONSIDER JOINING THE CROKER GOLF SYSTEM MASTER COACHING ACADEMY

Put simply unless you have or develop sound golf swing basics that deliver consistency, accuracy and sufficient power you will probably not really enjoy golf beyond being a mere social outing.  In all probability, you will become extremely frustrated with the game to the point of wanting to give it up.  Believe me, we have all been there.

Fortunately, we have developed the Croker Golf System Master Coaching Academy that will set you on the right path towards a most rewarding golfing journey so you can not only see where you should be going, but also be provided with all the knowledge, procedures and feedback to enable you to get there.

Golf is very much a game of cause and effect.  It is also very unforgiving.  You cannot expect for example to hit a straight shot or a shot with a nice draw on the ball if you have what is known as an “over the top swing”.  No matter how many times you try to make the ball go straight it will always slice as a simple matter of physics.

The great Albert Einstein is quoted as saying

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

And so it is with golf.  Before you can really do something you must know not only how to do something but why you should do it to avoid doing what you should not do.

If we take the golf swing for example. The 2 most important principles to ensure consistency, accuracy and sufficient power are

  1. An “inside out” downswing path
  2. Being able to compress the ball at impact

Unfortunately, neither of these things occurs naturally when a beginning golfer starts out.  In fact even among golfers who have been playing for many years probably 80 to 90% don’t get these 2 things right. Without an understanding of what is required and the right coaching to get there, they never will.

It is not as though people do not want desperately to have consistency, accuracy, and power. Go to any driving range and you will see people hitting the ball for hours on end, unfortunately reinforcing bad habits.

Like any journey, a good orthodox golf swing starts at the very beginning.

Imagine you are in the center of a maze with many possible entrances out containing dead ends and passages back to the center, with only one or two enabling you to get out of the maze. You are presented with one of two choices.  What is the best way of getting out?

  1. Try every exit at random in the hope that one of them will lead you out.
  2. Use a map of the maze that shows you that way out.

Obviously 2 is going to be your best alternative if you want to get out in the minimum amount of time.

So when it comes to golf WHY is the Croker Golf System Master Coaching Academy the ideal place to learn how to get out of the golfing maze?

The Croker Golf System Master Coaching Academy really is a golfing gold mine for any golfer of any standard and ability.  With over 50 years of golfing experience both as a touring Professional and World-renowned teacher, Peter Croker can guide, teach, and encourage you to bring out your best in all aspects of golf. The “Croker Swing” is designed to ensure you are able to execute the proper in to out downswing path and truly compress the ball in exactly the same way great golfers are able to do.

It all starts with structure. Make no mistake, without the proper structure at the start in terms of a good grip and solid balanced stance everything else will be compensation.  You might eventually get there without solid structure but it might take years of trial and error before you can get out of the maze.

The moment of truth in any golf swing comes at the point of impact. Get this right and you will be in golfing heaven. Get it wrong and the sliced weak shot will let you know in no uncertain terms.

You have to know what to do, how to do it and why you need to do it.

A golf swing, although a smooth uninterrupted motion, is nevertheless comprised of many parts, any one of which can go wrong and muck up the rest of the swing.

A successful impact, for example, will only happen if the downswing is on the correct path and the hands are in front of the ball when the clubface makes contact with the ball at impact.   This will only happen with a successful downswing.   Well before this, the take-away must ensure that the club is not pulled to the inside. If it is, without compensation, you will not be on the proper downswing path.

Golf is a wonderful game but it does not just rely on athletic ability.  To get it right it must be learned.  The Croker Golf System Academy is the perfect place to learn.

Mark Immelman from on his PGA popular Golf Podcast ‘On the Mark’ this week interviewed Peter Croker- listen to the full interview below. 

Episode Info

For over 45 years Peter Croker has dedicated his life to understanding the game of golf, first as a Touring Professional and then as a PGA instructor and coach. He has spent time with some of the game’s greats like Ben Hogan, Peter Thomson and Greg Norman. His students have included Heads of State, legends of golf and multiple PGA Teachers of the Year. Crocker joins ‘On the Mark’ to share his experiences, his approach to the golf swing and his opinions on what great ball-strikers do. He also shares tips and drills you can employ to improve your ball-striking.

Peter Croker’s “Pain Free” Success

We received the Cover Story in Golf Digest USA and Worldwide in 1995 following our introduction of a “paradigm shift” in the way to hit a golf ball with solid compression and long and straight to its target. The added benefit is that it took much-needed stress off the back and other body parts in the process.  Today we have added the practice of Qi Gong as delivered by Joe Pinella to our Golf Learning and Training Practice. I have been doing a daily practice of specific Qi Gong Exercises with the express interest in removing pain from 2 specific areas in my body

  1. The pain at the base joint of my left thumb and
  2. Behind my right knee and upper calf muscle

Neither of these injuries was golf-related but occurred in the gym when lifting weights in Cross Fit sessions. After 85 days of daily practice, I can now report a huge improvement in both areas where I was in pain that restricted my enjoyment in hitting a golf ball and playing golf Qi Gong is the grandfather to Tai Chi and many other Eastern Practices for body and mind. I have cured a chronic pain in my lower leg (could not bend down to tee the ball up from my right leg for over 1 year. Many attempts to heal the problem leg had failed – then came Joe Pinella and his Qi Gong Practice. He was a quadriplegic after a car accident at 42 and confined to a wheelchair by Western Medicine Standards. At 71 he teaches patients to remove pain from their bodies.and is highly successful.  After 77 days of doing the exercises, I am pain-free! —  https://crokergolfsystem.com/qi-golf/ I will share some thoughts and videos here and hope you have the interest and time to view them. My Blog: –https://petercrokerblog.com/2019/03/27/why-should-control-trump-power-and-consistency/ Qi Gong Videos Please check out these short videos from Joe Pinella to gain an insight into Qi Gong and how it integrates so well with the Drills of the Croker Golf System.
