THE BEST GOLF SCHOOL ON THE PLANET
That's
what our students tell us - including many who have played golf for
many years and attended some of our competition's schools. We are not
your father's golf school! We are revolutionizing the golf instruction
world with our groundbreaking new model for helping golfers achieve
their dreams of playing better golf. The Balance Point way is the
critical missing link in golf instruction. A balanced blending of
mechanical, physical and mental training is the key to real shotmaking consistency and lower scores.
Since our founding in 1995, Balance Point Golf Schools has been deeply commited to helping our students really breakthrough to better shotmaking and lower scores. Results matter in golf. What kind of results can you expect from attending one of our cutting-edge golf schools? High quality golf shots - longer, straighter and more solidly at impact in the Long Game, deadly accurate shotmaking in the Short Game, and rolling the ball on the proper line and speed in the Putting Game.
This
mind/body connection model also simply means that when learning golf's
physical skills, your mind must first clearly understand exactly what
it is you are trying to accomplish. Then - and only then - will you be
able to train your body to effortlessly execute the proper swing and
short game mechanics.

Welcome to the Home Page of The Best Golf School on the Planet. Our new
slogan embodies our mission in golf, which is to create truly effective
golf learning programs that will help our students to achieve their
dreams of playing extraordinary golf. We believe the information we
provide and our ability to communicate it clearly to our students is
second to none.
The
new slogan also carries on with the spirit of our old slogan - Golf
Instruction for the 21st Century - intended to contrast our very
effective science-based cutting-edge golf learning models with the
opinion-based ways of more traditional methods. Best Golf School
on the Planet is admittedly a very high standard to claim for
ourselves, but all credit for it goes to the many golf school graduates
who actually used this phrase in describing their Balance Point Golf
School experience to us. Many told us that their golf school was a
powerful life-changing experience that had positive benefits not only
to their golf game but to their personal and professional lives as
well.
Bottom line? Our students improve - period. And the improvement is permanent and often dramatic. We know of no other golf instruction method that can create the kind of results that Balance Point Golf School graduates achieve. We take the claim of being the best very seriously and my staff
and I are deeply commited to continuing our quest for never-ending
improvement in the quality of golf instruction that we offer to the
golfing public.
This is the fifteenth season of our award-winning golf instruction programs in the Portland, Oregon metro aea. For our regular students, take a look at our Advanced Short Game one day school, our three day Short Game school and our three day Art of Scoring weekend golf school. Or enroll in one of our private lesson programs - a one hour lesson every month or so during the golf season is a really effective way to lower your golf scores, improve your shotmaking and have more fun out there!
New students should consider starting with our most popular multi-day golf school covering the full golf swing fundamentals, Great Shot! as well as our revolutionary one day mental game school, Rip It to the Target!
For new students looking for a more private learning experience, consider our one-on-one Private Golf Schools in a one, two or three day format. This program features a full eight hours a day of intensive cutting-edge instruction with Master Teacher Jim Waldron. This is a great way to learn new golf skills for either the individual student or for a married couple or two golf buddies. A third and more affordable option for new students is our four hour lesson program for golfers who want to breakthrough to better ballstriking by learning the true golf swing fundamentals.

STUDENT TESTIMONIALS
" I am sure I learned more in my five days at Balance Point Golf Schools than I could have learned at any other school. I believe Jim Waldron has developed the Holy Grail for learning great golf."
Rick Thrasher, Hawaii
"I can honestly say that I got more out of spending half a day with you than in countless number of lessons over the past twelve years! Thank you, Jim, for passing on your golf wisdom to us. I am hitting the ball much better. I really enjoyed the time we spent together."
Mukesh Chohan, Singapore
"Jim, you fixed my horrible top of backswing flinch, in just three practice swings, so I think you are a magician, and so do my buddies who saw the dreaded flinch develop and take root over 7 years, and magically disappear instantly. That was a little over a year ago, and my handicap was at least 20 when I came to your Balance Point Golf School, and is now a 10, and I have complete confidence that it will continue to drop down into single digits. I really must thank you again for restoring my enjoyment of golf, which was completely gone when I first came to see you"
Frank Baldry, Canada
"After a disastrous encounter with the new "stack and tilt" golf swing, I was on golf suicide watch. Jim Waldron got my game back on track after only three, two hour lessons. I am hitting the ball further, straighter and with more consistency than ever before. These changes are for life! And I know with confidence that if I practice what Jim Waldron teaches, that I will continue to improve. Thank you, Jim" Randy Lishka, Portland
"I know something about the learning process and the Balance Point Golf School approach is the best for any motor skill imprinting. Superb instruction, superb demonstrations. I really appreciated the detail, the relentless effort of the instructors to communicate both the picture (of the model golf swing) and the feel as well. I always wanted the true golf swing fundamentals and this is the first time that I have ever really "seen" them. I have been home less than a day and have already recommended your golf school to five friends. Believe it or not, I could have kept going for two more weeks!" Blair McHaney, Washington
