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 extraordinary 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, we have 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.

STUDENT TESTIMONIALS

" I am sure I learned more in my five days at Balance Point 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 in Portland."

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 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 school to five friends. Believe it or not, I could have kept going for two more weeks!" Blair McHaney, Washington
