Des Mahoney, PGA
Director Of Instructionmember
I am the Director of Instruction at the Centennial Golf Course near Knoxville, Tennessee.
It is a pleasure to help many golfers each year reach their golf goals. I am especially successful in helping people understand, correct, and own their golf swings. Each student receives a video email of their golf swing with suggestions after each lesson.
I have developed my style of analysis and correction by having given over 10,000 lessons. I have been a member of the PGA of America for 26 years and I have studied under or worked for Hank Haney, Chuck Cook, David Leadbetter, Mike Hebron, and other noted PGA teaching professionals. I have also completed the PGA Advanced Certification program in golf instruction.
I have been fortunate to win 6 PGA teaching awards, including the 2005 Tennessee PGA Teacher of The Year, and the 1995 Hawaii PGA Teacher of The Year. I am recognized by Golf Digest and Golf Magazine as one of the more effective golf instructors in Tennessee. If you have been puzzled and frustrated with your game then I would like to earn your trust.

Testimonial:
I came to Des as an early 60’s-aged lifelong golfer, looking to improve my iron play and gain the ability to hit fairway woods. The results were dramatic.I highly recommend him to anyone who is serious about developing a great golf swing.
