How to Choose a Golf School
The very important first step in your search for a quality golf school is matching your ideas about learning, practice and play to the school's teaching philosophy and curriculum. Matching leads to an effective learning experience. What kind of golfer matches up with our program and philosophy? You could rightly say that at Balance Point Golf Schools, we are looking for "a few good golf students" - intelligent golfers who are commited to real improvement, passionate about golf, skeptical of traditional instruction methods, who have an open mind and are eager to learn new golf skills.
This is gourmet golf instruction for the passionate golfer seeking an intensive learning experience and real performance breakthroughs. It doesn't matter at all what your current skill level is - attitude is everything! Our student success stories run the gamut from beginner to tour professional. The crucial question you must ask yourself is: "Do I want to get a little bit better temporarily or a lot better permanently?"
If permanent game improvement and real golfing skill is what you seek, then our schools are the logical choice. You cannot buy a game, but you can learn how to strike a golf ball solid, chip with deadly accuracy and putt with precision. If you truly love golf, and love to learn new golf skills - you will love Balance Point Golf Schools!.
Many of our students have told us that Balance Point Golf Schools is "the most honest golf instruction method on the planet...no hype... this is the real deal, non sugar-coated." We won't try to fool you with deceptive promises of "instant" improvement, stroke your ego with phony praise or encourage the very common belief that you can "buy a game". Nor will we "dumb down" our golf instruction to fit the demands of the mass marketplace. If you are golf savvy and smart enough to question the wild claims and marketing hype of some traditional golf schools ("learn to swing like a pro in a weekend and knock 15 strokes off your score!"), you have come to the right place.
Many golfers are engaged in an endless (and hopeless) search for so-called "instant improvement" through quick fix lessons, tips, faddish new swing theories, magic moves, swing "secrets", etc. These kinds of things have never produced real game improvement in the 600 year old history of the game. Never have, never will. That approach violates every law of motor skills learning that science has proven does work in every sport where it is applied - learning the basic fundamentals of the game in a logical sequence. Other golfers naively believe that they can avoid the process of learning/practice and somehow magically "buy" a game.
If this sounds familiar, think about the fact that you have very likely used that "quick fix" approach for many years and yet you still have probably not significantly improved your game. One definition of insanity is to keep on doing the same behavior over and over again and expecting different results! The first step to permanent game improvement is to simply stop doing what does not work.
The real test of a golf school's quality of instruction and the learning going on in the golf school graduate's brain is simply this - how is that student performing a month, three months, six months and most importanly even a year later? Has the student acquired a set of basic concepts, fundamentals, principles and practice drills that function like a map or blueprint to guide her progress? Has she continued to experience new learning and performance breakthroughs along the way? Is he hitting the ball more solidly, longer and straighter? Have his scores come down?
Bottom line? Only you can learn how to play better golf. A teacher or method cannot do it for you. You have to be willing to immerse yourself in what many of our students call a fascinating and meaningful journey of constant learning and never-ending improvement. We call this process mastery. The renown golf mental game expert Dr. Bob Rotella refers to this as "falling in love with the game improvement process". With that kind of approach, not only is success a certainty, but you have an extraordinary amount of fun along the way!
