Prokop Sedlák was born on the 23rd April 1943 in Prague. His parents owned a house in Resslova street No. 1939 and witnessed dramatic events in June 1942, during the military-police action against the paratroopers hidden in the Ss. Cyril and Methodius Cathedral. He got detailed information about the events from his parents. After the communist coup in 1948 his family had to give up their house in the Prague centre. Prokop Sedlák went to an eight-year elementary school in Prague 6 and an eleven-year school in Botičská street, after which he studied at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the Czech Technical University. Following his graduation he worked at the Research Institute of Food and Refrigerating Industry in Ostrovského street. He followed in the steps of his father - JUDr. Prokop Sedlák - and became an important figure of the Czechoslovakian (and later Czech) golf scene. In 2005 he was introduced into the golf Hall of Fame. He is currently (2016) retired, lives in Prague, and works at the Institute of Thermomechanics of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic.
