Emily T Gail Talk Story

Brendan Moynahan talks story with JR DeGroote, Sports Editor West Hawaii Today and me at the 2018 PGA TOUR Champions MItsubishi Electric Championship at Hualalai on Hawaii Island after the 2nd round was complete and his long time friend Jerry Kelly was one of the leaders.
Brendan is the Director of Golf Operations at Hualalai and shares stories about the Mitsubishi Electric Championship and his experiences with many of the Champions Tour players including Jerry Kelly who Brendan met when Brendan was Head Golf Professional at the Experience at Koele
on Lanai in Hawaii.
Brendan talks about his Dad Mike Moynahan who was a Master Club maker, who won awards for his craft and contributed in many ways to the game of golf and charities.
Jerry Kelly won the Mitsubishi Electric Championship and gave Brendan a whole lot of credit for the comfort Jerry feels playing in Hawaii at the Sony and at the Hualalai Golf Course home of the Mitsubishi Electric Championship.
Brendan represented Hawaii in the US Amateur Golf Tournament in 1987 and 1989. After turning professional in 1991 Brendan won 10 Aloha Section PGA tournaments and represented Hawaii eight times in the PGA Club Professional Championships.
Brendan became an associate and teaching golf professional at Kapalua Golf Resort on the island of Maui, upon his return to the Islands, earning more accolades, such as the Maui Golf Magazine Player of the Year award in 1997 and Assistant Professional of the Year in 1998 by the Aloha Section of the PGA. He then moved to Lanai and became the head golf professional of the island’s two esteemed courses. In 2005, Moynahan returned to Hawaii Island, where his family resides, assuming the role of Head Golf Professional at Hualalai Golf Club. In 2009, he was promoted to his current position as Director of Golf.
