Patrick is one of the finest teachers in the Midwest and a real treasure. He has a deep knowledge of the game and explains it in simple terms.
Having played on a national level and coming from a golf family powerhouse, Patrick blends the knowledge of time tested fundamentals with all of the modern day technology. He doesn't cookie cut teach . He has helped me with instruction that lasts. He does it with passion and is always available if I have a question.
I have taken lessons from the best - Toski, Flick etc . Patrick is in that league and his short game knowledge is off the charts.
Thank you for all of your help Coach Patrick!

As a former All-American collegiate soccer player who competed at the D3 level and played professionally in the UK, I know what true coaching and real performance feel like.
I also know how quickly you can tell when someone is different—and I felt that with Patrick after our very first session.
I’m naturally competitive, and in a short time working together he’s already transformed the way I think about my swing, my preparation, and my confidence on the course. His ability to see the details, simplify what matters, and challenge you in the right way is what truly sets him apart from other coaches.
Because of Patrick, I don’t just feel like I’m learning golf—I feel like I belong in the community.
For anyone wondering if this sport is for them, it is. And the right coach can change everything.

I’m 44 and have golfed my whole life. Mostly as a bogey golfer. I’ve had a lot of lessons from golf pros to Golftec. This will be my 3rd summer with Patrick and I shot a 72 last year and have brought my handicap into the single digits! Patrick is not only a fantastic coach but an insane golfer! So he gets it. It’s not all mechanics. And it’s not “one swing for everyone”. He works with what you have. He knows there’s more to lowering your score than the towel drill.
He’s not just my swing coach, but my much needed psychiatrist and cheerleader as well. 6 more years with him and senior tour here I come!

I've had the privilege of working with Patrick Cermak for the past two years, and he has been an exceptional coach from day one. He is patient, encouraging, and truly meets clients where they are, tailoring his approach to support their individual goals and growth.
Patrick genuinely invests in his students - celebrating their successes, supporting them through setbacks, and building both skill and confidence along the way. Most importantly, he fosters not just improvement, but a lasting joy for the game, which has made a meaningful difference in both my performance and my overall love of golf.

I was a self-taught golfer for the past 35 years. I would look online at YouTube videos to improve my golf swing. The result was failure and frustration, I never knew what version of my golf game would show up for a round of 18. As I stood overt the ball, I had no clue what the shot result was going to be. I started not enjoying the game and at times did not want to continue playing. After a tough round I was told by a dear friend that I needed to take a lesson, and he introduced me to Patrick. During our 1st lesson I expressed that my goal is to enjoy the game more and have a consistent game. At the end of the 1st lesson with Patrick, he fixed my approach and my fundamentals. I was consistently striking the ball like I have never have in the past. Now when I stand over the golf ball, I consistently strike the ball, and I know what the outcome will look like. I have gained an additional 20-30 yards distance on all clubs. For the past 15 years as I got older, I would always have to club up. Now I have to club down. More importantly I enjoy the game more than I ever had and playing more rounds each year. This is all due meeting Patrick and taking lessons. Don’t be like me.. do not wait. Book a lesson with Patrick and change your game and your enjoyment level.

I have been playing golf for 40 years and have seen numerous golf pros over the years. Patrick's knowledge of the game and being able to break down and fix my flaws simply and effortlessly is nothing like I have experienced before. Not to mention, you won't find anyone as likable and personable as him!!

I’ve known Pat for a long time, and he truly comes from a golf-centric family. He brings a wealth of stories, experience, and knowledge that golfers of any skill level can take back to their own game.
His teaching style is modern and approachable, encouraging you to think through concepts in a way that fits your own swing and thought process. One thing that really sets him apart as an instructor is his patience—he takes the time to make sure you understand what you’re working on and how to improve.
Pat is definitely one of the up-and-coming professionals in the industry, and I highly recommend booking a lesson with him.
