Meet the Pros: Patrick Lago
Patrick Lago
President & Director of Instruction
Patrick learned the great game of golf at the young age of 10 under the encouragement of his father. After a successful junior career in Southern Ontario, he went on to receive a diploma in Professional Golf Management at Humber College in Toronto. He then became a CPGA professional in 2007 and is now a Class “A” Teaching Professional.
Patrick is committed to improve golfers of all skill levels and helping his students achieve their goals. Patrick has honed his teaching skills under the tutelage of many great instructors, including Bob Beachemin who is ranked in the top 50 golf instructors in Canada, and Andy Hilts who has been named top 40 instructors under 40 in the United States.
With over 20,000 lessons taught with the use of video analysis, Patrick is able to teach any learning style, and enable the student to be the best golfer they can be.
His teaching philosophy is “keep it simple”
“Once you have an understanding of the cause and effect of what you do and how it relates to the swing, you can keep the game of golf simple rather than complicated.”
