Academy Profile

PowerGolf Hawaii is the realization of a life-long dream of our founder - Allan Ano - to open his own golf teaching academy. Throughout his 37-year career as a Golf Professional at one of Hawaii’s premier private golf clubs, Allan has focused on learning and teaching every aspect of the golf game. He has been taught by many of the best PGA instructors and has, in turn, personally trained thousands of golfers from novice to advanced players.

At Waialae Country Club in Honolulu, Allan had the opportunity to closely work with tour professionals at the Hawaiian and Sony Open tournaments from 1974 through 2009. It was also at Waialae that he further honed his unique teaching style and developed his personal philosophy of tailoring his instruction to the individual player’s specific goals, physical capabilities and experience level.

At the pinnacle of his career, Allan’s goal is to share the wealth of knowledge that he and several of his fellow Hawaii golf professionals have accumulated through the years. In September, 2009, Allan ultimately fulfilled this dream by founding his own teaching and equipment facility -- PowerGolf Hawaii.
