Testimonials from other PGA Professionals:

"As a PGA professional, I have been exposed to a lot of different philosophies concerning the golf swing. After having met and worked personally with Jon and his concept of a tension free swing, I have been able to learn more about how proper fundamentals and technique can have a long-lasting impact on how to play the game. I have incorporated Jon's teachings into my own golf game and have been consistently hitting the ball with greater accuracy and greater distance. I've always been a long hitter of the ball, and was taught in the past that to gain accuracy I would be forced to give up distance. Under Jon's guidance I am now averaging 320-330 yards off the tee with my driver (up from 300), but more importantly I'm hitting more fairways than ever before! I've been able to do all of this with a swing that feels easier and puts significantly less strain on my body.

Students can learn a lot from Jon in a very short amount of time without feeling overwhelmed because Jon presents the information in such a way that it's extremely easy to understand. And oh by the way, he's one heck of a ball striker; it's truly rare to see someone that can practice what he teaches as well as Jon."

"Jon Manack has been a true inspiration for me in my professional golf this year!

As an LPGA Golf Professional who has won the 2003 LPGA Club Professional Championship and have played in (4) LPGA major championships, this is the best ball striking I have had in years and I owe it to Jon Manack.
I have worked with some of the Top 100 Instructors in my career, but it is Jon Manack’s communication skills, knowledge and teaching techniques that have helped me to understand my swing better and hit more consistent shots. I now have more confidence in my golf game without working hard at it.

Since working with Jon, I came in 2nd place in the 2007 Women’s Colorado Open, 3rd place in the LPGA Club Professional Championship and 2nd place in the LPGA Southeast Section Championship.

Thanks Jon!! I am proud to have you as my golf coach."

"Jon arrived with a flawless golf swing and an ability to strike the ball from a variety of set up positions. I can take it a bit further and say that of all the PGA and mini tour players I instruct, Jon's ball striking ability is beyond any I have seen…"
