Golf in Balance Coaching with Blain Bertrand

How Balanced Online Coaching Works

You film your swing and tell me what happens in your head before, during, and after the shot. I analyze both the motion and the mindset and send you a clear, practical plan that starts in the center — calm body, clear picture, simple keys.

• Send swing videos via WhatsApp or CoachNow, plus a short note on what you think and feel over the ball
• Receive voice or video analysis that connects your patterns to your decisions and reactions
• Get simple “center cues” and routines you can repeat under pressure
• Mechanics are adjusted only as much as needed to support a stable, repeatable pattern
• Ideal for golfers, veterans, and older players who want less chaos and more clarity

Common Questions I Help Golfers With

Golfers come to me when their game feels inconsistent, chaotic, or mentally exhausting. These are the questions I hear every day — and the problems I help solve.

• “Why does my game fall apart toward the end of the round?”
  Because tension, mental drift, and poor decisions build up. I teach you how to stay balanced for 18 holes.
• “How do I finally get rid of my slice?”
  We identify the real cause, simplify your feels, and build a calm setup so the face returns square without overthinking.
• “Why do I tense up over the ball?”
  Because you don’t have a steady pre-shot rhythm yet. I help you build one that relaxes the body every time.
• “Why do I hit great on the range but terrible on the course?”
  Different mindset, different pressure. I help you close that gap with a clean, balanced decision process.
• “How do I stop rushing my swing?”
  We train a tempo and breathing pattern that forces patience and rhythm.
• “How do I stop getting angry after a bad shot?”
  You learn a simple reset that clears the slate without losing your edge.
• “What should my pre-shot routine look like?”
  Vision, breath, feel, structure — one repeatable process that holds up anywhere, anytime.
• “Why am I good on some days and terrible on others?”
  Because your mindset changes, not your swing. I help you stabilize that.
• “Can you help me understand my TrackMan numbers?”
  Yes — I turn data into simple “If this, then that” rules that keep you calm and clear.
• “How do I stay focused the whole round?”
  You learn a 10-second reset you can use after any shot, any time.

Start Your Balanced Coaching

Simple, step-by-step:

• 1. Choose your coaching option and pay via PayPal.
• 2. Film your swing (down-the-line & face-on if possible) and make a few notes about what you think and feel before the shot.
• 3. Send your videos and notes via WhatsApp or CoachNow.
• 4. Receive your analysis, routines, and improvement plan.

TrackMan & Launch Monitor Data — Without the Overthinking

If you practice with TrackMan or another launch monitor, I can help you make sense of the numbers without turning your head into a spreadsheet. The goal is not to drown in data — it’s to remove confusion so you feel calmer over the ball and trust what you’re doing.

What to Send Me

• A screenshot of your TrackMan (or other launch monitor) data
• Or a photo of the numbers from the range
• Your intended ball flight or shot shape
• Your current miss (slice, pull, hook, block, etc.) and how it makes you react

What You’ll Get Back

• Plain-English explanation of your key numbers
• The real cause of your ball flight pattern — not guesswork
• Which values are in a healthy range and which are red flags
• Practical drills and feels to change your pattern without cluttering your head
• Simple “if this, then that” rules so your decision-making stays calm on the course

I focus on the essentials: club path, face angle, face-to-path, attack angle, low point, dynamic loft, spin axis, and consistency patterns — always in service of a steadier, more balanced game, not more mental noise. TrackMan is a powerful tool, but only if it makes you feel clearer, not more confused.

About PGA Professional Blain Bertrand

My name is Blain Bertrand, and I’ve spent my life in two demanding arenas: the golf course and the military. I grew up in Texas, started playing at age six, and my very first golf shot went straight into the hole. That moment hooked me and set the tone for everything that followed — discipline, repetition, and respect for the game.

After serving in the United States Army as a Combat Engineer and Armored Crewman during the Gulf War, I moved to Germany and completed a full PGA apprenticeship. Over the next 30 years, I worked as a PGA Teaching Professional and eventually as a Head PGA Professional at multiple clubs, coaching thousands of golfers from beginners to elite amateurs. I also competed, won events, and set course records along the way.

For many years, I taught mostly swing mechanics: positions, angles, planes, and numbers. It helped, but it wasn’t the whole story. I saw golfers with “good swings” still fall apart under pressure — and others with imperfect mechanics score well because they were calm, clear, and disciplined.

That’s why my work now is simple: mindset leads, swing follows. I help golfers find a calmer, more balanced state before every shot, build a clear, no-nonsense routine, deal with mistakes without emotional chaos, and create rhythm instead of tension. Mechanics are still part of the picture, but they support the center — they don’t replace it.

Today, as a homebound veteran, I coach exclusively online, offering clear, personalized coaching through video and voice. No gimmicks. No theories of the month. Just solid habits, honest feedback, and a practical path to more stable golf from someone who has lived this game his entire life and still cares deeply about helping players improve.

Support for Veterans

I’m a U.S. Army veteran (Gulf War era) and I know what it’s like to try to keep your game — and your life — together while carrying more weight than most people can see.

• If you’re an American veteran living in Europe and need community, my work with American Veterans in Europe and Shield Wall is aimed at building brotherhood and support.
• Golf can be more than a scorecard. It can be structure, a steady routine, and a way to move your body without noise and nonsense.
• If you’re a veteran and money is tight, let me know in your message. I can’t coach for free all the time, but I’ll do what I reasonably can.

This is not therapy, it’s golf — but it’s golf taught by someone who understands PTSD, isolation, and the need for a stable, balanced routine.

Veteran Golfers Association (VGA)

I’m actively involved with the Veteran Golfers Association in Germany. The VGA creates connection, structure, and purpose for veterans through golf — competition when you want it, community when you need it.

If you’re a active duty, veteran or a family member of a veteran, living in Germany or Europe and miss the camaraderie, routine, and shared language of service, the VGA is worth a look.
