John Jacobs Award for Teaching & Coaching: Salvador Luna Given to a person who has excelled as a golf coach at all levels from beginners to elite players.


PGA of Spain Professional and Director of Golf for the Real Federación Española de Golf (RFEG), Salvador Luna, received the John Jacobs Award for


Teaching & Coaching. The award is the Association’s highest coaching accolade in the name of one of the greatest coaches in the sport’s history, and is awarded to a person who has excelled as a golf coach at all levels of the game be it with elite or beginner players alike across a number of years. Luna was nominated by his peers at the PGA of Spain and the RFEG for his work with Spain’s National


Teams over the last 20 years. His input to players’ games, along with specific programmes such as the RFEG’s ‘BLUME’ programme for elite under-18s, means that he has influenced almost every professional player to come out of Spain in the past two decades, including the likes of Álvaro Quirós, Pablo Martin and Sergio García. “Receiving this Award has been an honour for me,” explained Luna. “John Jacobs worked for the Spanish Federation across 40 years sharing his knowledge with me and with all my colleagues around the country. “This has been fundamental for me to become a coach and to also understand how a golf professional


has to be involved in the development of the players. This is not only a recognition for me, but for the work that all the staff at the Federation have developed over the years.”
