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

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.

Our fifteenth season of offering our award-winning golf instruction programs in the Portland, Oregon metro area is fast approaching. We will return to our home base at Quail Valley Golf Course on May 16 to start our busy teaching season. For our old 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! Or try our four hour lesson program for new students who want to breakthrough to better ballstriking by learning the true golf swing fundamentals.

 

Wishing you a lifetime of better golf,

Jim Waldron

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
