Today and tomorrow, I am featuring an interview with Paul Wilson, creator of Swing Machine Golf.
Paul has been a teaching pro for 16 years. He has been widely regarded as one of the best teachers in Canada.
He is formerly the Director of Instruction at Angus Glen in Toronto, home of this year's Canadian Open tournament.
Now, Paul is living and teaching in the United States. He's based at Broadmoor Golf Resort in colorado springs, Colorado where he has established the Swing Machine Golf School.
First, let me state up front that I am a practitioner of Swing Machine Golf. But I have not been paid a red cent to either do the interview with Paul or write about it here.
Nor will I be paid in the future.
In fact, I contacted Paul for the interview for one reason: his method works. It works for me and it works for hundreds of other golfers who have received Paul's instruction.
I purchased his superb coffee-table book on Swing Machine Golf (I simply cannot break an old habit of learning the swing from books!).
But I followed up with lessons from Paul's Canadian representative, Mark Greenwood.
Theory and practice cemented the concept and my game was re-born. I can't overstate that point. My game was re-born.
In today's first part, Paul talks about how he developed his theory that we could swing a golf club just like that venerable old testing machine, Iron Byron.
Part one runs just under 7 minutes. Part two will be posted tomorrow. Click on the link below and allow a couple of minutes for the download from the server. I hope you enjoy it!

Bev - I asked that very question when I interviewd Paul for this blog. He says it is NOT a one-plane swing and gave me a detailed reason why. Essentially, it boils down to starting the downswing with the lower body while maintaining tension-free arms ("like spaghetti" as Paul puts it). The arms and hands will drop to a flatter plane on the downswing, dragged flatter by the lower body initiating the turn to the target.
