I am seriously considering attending Randy Goettlicher's pool school located in/around Dallas. Has anyone attended or know someone who attended who can comment on their experience?

Great school
Randy is an excellent teacher and a great guy. I highly recommend it.

Thanks for the responses. I need help taking my game to the next level. I am going to go to the school before I begin practicing again. I will consider myself a serious player when I can get good enough to where I can win $5,000.00 a year in tournament (not calcutta) money. That might be one $5000 first place win or 10 $500 eight place finishes. Either way, that will be my gauge as to whether or not I have "arrived". I hope the school will help me reach that level.

Randy G. is an excellent instructor & a gentlemen on top of it. I have never heard anything negative about his school, only positive. I am proud to say that I know Randy for over 20 years.

I had a 2 day private lesson with RandyG..

take the class.
insanepoolgod...There is NO doubt that you will leave pool school with the TOOLS to help you achieve your goal. What you do with them afterwards will tell the tale. You cannot go wrong attending school. There are literally hundreds of Az posters who have attended pool school, either in Dallas, or one of our road show schools.
Randyg has a school in Frederick MD next weekend (I'll be in Minneapolis), and I will be doing a school in S. CA next month, after the trade show in Vegas; and possibly another school in the Bay Area the week after that. We also have upcoming schools scheduled for Richmond, VA (Aug), Colorado Springs CO (Sept) and Fargo, ND (Sept). Pooltcher has a school in Charlotte NC coming up in about 3 months too. Anyone interested in any of these pool schools can PM me or Randyg.

I'll give him a gold star.
Just be ready to follow his advice to practice (no games) the drills you will learn for at least six weeks until it becomes permanently embedded knowledge. :thumbup:

Your money will be well spent! I've known Randy going on 25 years and you will never fine a more dedicated person willing to instruct and promote the game. My wife and son were taught by Randy, wife no longer plays because of back problems but my son went from a low C player to a high A to A+.
Good luck!
Good luck!
the only thing i would like to add, i have not benn able to find three days to go to the full school, Randy was gracious enough to meet me on a tuesday evening and give me what turned into a 4 hour mini school on the first three mother drills and we did the video analysis. it was great, i cant wait till i have time to do the full school. Randy is a great teacher and person. he listened to me and my concerns and together we developed routines suited to me.
well worth the time and money!

CJ...Why do you say that? Have you attended Randy's school? Do you consider Allison and Karen beginners? How about two-time national champion Henry Brodt? They attended school too. MANY expert players and champions have gained a ton of knowledge (sometimes just about themselves) from coming to pool school. It is absolutely NOT just for beginners.

Everything good stated above, and then some. Do it.

I think the reason that the beginner's statement came out is that it is easier for a beginner to learn the methods taught at Pool School than trying to have an advanced player re-learn a new system [over years of bad habits]. Pool School is probably a great choice for most, but not for everyone. But I do agree that Randy and crew are a great bunch, and if you are taking pool seriously, you can benefit from attending.
As for using Allison and Karen, etc., as examples, they were (for the most part) already practicing the methods taught, and did not need to reinvent the wheel. They were pros long before they attended pool school.
