About Balance Point Golf Schools
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.

What's New

BREAKING NEWS: NEW MODEL GOLF SWING DVD PROGRAM

We are currently completing our long-awaited new DVD series of our award-winning Great Shot! golf school full golf swing training program and our companion mental game golf school, Rip It to the Target!

For the first time, we will be selling this cutting-edge golf swing improvement program to the general public. For those of you around the nation and indeed around the globe who have heard about this program but could not make it to Portland, Oregon in the summer or to Hawaii in the winter to participate in our Great Shot! school, you now have the chance to own the complete set of Balance Point Golf School "model golf swing" information. This DVD program is the next best thing to actually attending a Balance Point Golf School in person. This is the most comprehensive, holistic, researched, tested and proven Model Golf Swing Program in the history of the game.

We have organized the information into two Modules.

Module One - Breakthrough!: Mastering the Mental Game Fundamentals of The Art of Shotmaking. This DVD program is primarily focused on how the proper use of your mind can actually improve your long game, short game and putting game golf shots and score due to the supreme importance of the mind/ body connection principle. With our Breakthrough! program, you will learn how to improve your mental game and your physical golf skills simultaneously. Estimated viewing time is four hours. Includes an audio cd narrated by Jim Waldron and a training manual.

Module Two - Great Shot!: Mastering the Modern Golf Swing Physical Fundamentals of The Science of Ballstriking.

This is the complete set of Balance Point physical golf swing model information: swing theory, drills, mechanics, balance, coordination and all of the key components of the modern tour pro golf swing. Estimated viewing time - sixteen hours. Includes an audio cd by Jim Waldron and a training manual.

We expect to have the entire project completed and ready for sale here on our website and on others sites on the Web by late November. Please call our office at 1-800-898-4563 for additional information or to purchase the DVD program. The two Modules may be purchased separately and several Segments of Module Two will also be available on an individual basis.

______________________________________

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 metro area. Our Oregon golf schools run the gamut from one to five day programs, and include cutting-edge instruction in full swing, short game, putting and mental game. For our regular students, take a look at our Advanced Short Game one day school, our three day Short Game golf schools and our three day Art of Scoring weekend golf school. Or enroll in one of our Portland golf 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
