About Jon Manack

What distinguishes Jon’s teaching is his background beyond traditional golf instruction.

Beginning in 1997, Jon pursued extensive education and training in sports medicine, rehabilitation, golf-specific physical conditioning, anatomy, kinesiology, and sports psychology. He also co-founded and co-owned LEAP Golf™, a golf-specific diagnostic and learning program implemented in physical therapy centers nationwide as an exclusive golf performance enhancement and rehabilitation program.

His experience working alongside orthopedic physical therapists and rehabilitation specialists has helped shape an approach that considers the relationship between physical function and golf swing mechanics. This background is particularly valuable for golfers managing previous injuries, returning to the game after rehabilitation, experiencing physical limitations, or struggling with recurring discomfort during play.

While every golfer is different, Jon believes effective instruction begins with understanding the individual—not forcing every player into the same swing model.

His goal is to make golf instruction understandable, practical, and measurable, giving each student the knowledge and tools to improve both during lessons and independently on the course.
