In October 99, I attended the Las Vegas Invitational. I went there with the intent to talk with and show as many people as possible the Dream Swing. At the end of one of the practice days I saw Mike Weir walk into the parking lot with his golf bag. I followed him and spoke to him as he put his clubs into his car and changed into his street shoes. I told Mike about the Dream Swing and mentioned I planned to show it to Bruce Brockbank in November and asked Mike if he would like to see it at that time? Bruce is Mike’s personal friend and is the current Coach of the BYU, (Brigham Young University) Golf Team in Provo Utah. Mike resides in Draper, a suburb of Salt Lake located about 20 miles fromProvo. I don’t know Bruce and Mike’s history; however I suspect they may have been team mates at BYU in their college golf playing days. Mike told me to have Bruce call him and tell him when we were meeting and he would see the Dream Swing then. On the appointed day toward the middle of November I was at BYU and Bruce and I walked from his office to a practice football field just across the parking lot from Bruce’s office. As we climbed the fence into the field, (The gate was locked,) Mike drove into the parking lot in a new BMW. He had just been voted Rookie of the Year earning $1.5 million and finishing 30th on the money list.  I set the Dream Swing up and demonstrated to Mike and Bruce how it worked and why they should be using it, Mike to improve his game and Bruce to improve the play of his golf team. I pointed out to Mike that I had watched him on TV and noticed that during his pre shot routine when he took his half a back swing that he would swing out square and when he swung at the ball he would swing inside. I told him that with the Dream Swing he could know that he was doing the same swing every time. We put Mike’s club into the trainer and he took his first swing in the Dream Swing. As he swung to the top of his back swing, he looked at Bruce and said, “This isn’t my swing.” Bruce looked at me and said, “You can’t be changing his swing.” I told him I didn’t want to change his back swing and that I knew what to do the correct the problem. Mike was positioned in the Dream Swing so the stand was in line with his spine. If the Dream Swing is in the center of the body or in line with the spine, it guides the golfer on a square to square swing like Tiger Woods swings. Mike is left handed and swings inside on his back swing. I had him move to the right so the stand was centered more over his left ear and shoulder. As Mike saw that by moving to the right the Dream Swing would let him swing inside on the take away he adjusted his body to a position that guided him to the spot he wanted to be in at the top of his back swing. After swinging back a few time he said to Bruce, “That’s perfect.”  He then took a full swing and hit into the ground more than he liked. He then took a more aggressive swing and swung into the finish position. He said to me, “I don’t like how this takes me into my finish position.” I asked, “What are you trying to do in your golf swing?” He said, “I swing inside on my back swing and after I swing back to impact I try to keep the club close to my body as I go into the finish position.” I told him the Dream Swing was keeping the club down the line after impact and causing him to bring his hands up high and finish on-plane, or with his club parallel to the swing plane lines instead of around his body finishing with his club parallel to the ground. I watched his swing in the Dream Swing and told him his finish looked better in the Dream Swing. He didn’t say anything and started swinging full swings in the Dream Swing. After several swing I handed him one of his clubs. He took a swing and got a look on his face like what did you just do to my swing? The Dream Swing changes a swing motion very fast and the few times Mike swung it, it was already beginning to change his swing to an on-plane finish. I knew what he was feeling and told him not to worry about the feeling. I said. “That is what you need to learn to finish on-plane.” I told Mike it was also a great putting aid. We put his putter in the Dream Swing and as he stroked back and forth a few times and looked at Bruce and said, “That’s perfect.” I then told Mike there was a wall bracket included with the Dream Swing and that he could set it up in his home or garage and practice with it indoors over the Winter. He commented that that would be good and after some more conversation with him and Bruce, Mike took the Dream Swing and left. I wasn’t able to contact or communicate with him over the winter to see how he was doing with the Dream Swing. The following spring I was watching Mike during a tournament he was playing in and leading. On the Tee Box before hitting a Drive, Mike stood back about 15 feet behind the ball and took a full practice swing. He finished with his club right on-plane. He then stepped to the ball and did his normal pre-shot routine. He swung his half a back swing to the inside and then took his full swing and hit a beautiful drive finishing with his club on plane. I was excited because I could see Mike was swinging the swing the Dream Swing was teaching him the previous November. I called Bruce Brockbank and as I spoke with him about Mike’s good play he said, “That swing you taught Mike is holding up very well.” I believe that the swing changes Mike made along with other improvements he made combined to allow him to win the Master Championship this year. You will experience fantastic and dramatic improvement as you use the Dream Swing and get your golf swing on-plane. You will never know how good you could play until you learn the Dream Swing.

In August of 1996 I attended the Franklin Quest Senior PGA Tour event in Park City Utah. My intent by attending was to renew my acquaintance with Jim Albus who endorsed the Dream Swing on an infomercial we filmed at PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens Florida (http://www.dreamswing.com/video.htm) and Bruce Crampton who was experiencing dramatic game improvement after learning the Dream Swing. I was able to speak with Arnold Palmer and persuade him to get into the Dream Swing. I had watched him hitting balls on the range and knew where he set his club at the top of his back swing. I set the height of the Dream Swing to guide me into the position I had seen him swing into.  He came to where I was setup on the range and I put his club in the Dream Swing and he began to take full swing. It was truly beautiful to watch his swing while in the Dream Swing. It was perfect. He put a ball down and hit it while connected into the Dream Swing. The ball flew perfect. He put another ball down and just like before hit a perfect shot, long and straight. He stepped back few feet from the trainer and I said, Now I’m going to let you feel how this trains you. I took his club out and handed it to him and he took a swing. As he finished the swing he got this expression on his face like he had just seen a ghost. His mouth dropped open and his eyes went wide open. He looked at another Tour Player there with him and said.”Sh##, have you felt how this trains you” I stepped to him and said, “We could sell one of these to every serious golfer out there. Would you be on a one minute commercial we could run on The Golf Channel. Arnold said, “I don’t know about that but, I need to keep swinging this. Do you have one you can send with me?” I said I did and met Arnold about 20 minute later in the parking lot where we spoke for a few minutes and he took the Dream Swing and left. I returned home and the following Monday the Golf Instructor at Arnold’s course in LatrobePennsylvania called me and said, “Arnold just handed me your swing trainer, how do you use it.” I told him over the phone how to set it up and gave him specific instructions to set the height of the stand so it was guiding Mr. Palmer into the position he is normally in at the top of his swing. I told the Instructor the worst thing he could do was change Arnold’s position at the top of his backswing. I wasn’t able to get back to Arnold to see how he was doing with the Dream Swing the rest of that summer. The following January just following Arnold’s Prostrate Surgery  while in Orlando at the PGA Merchandise Show I was demonstrating the Dream Swing and a man who’s name tag said Arnold Palmer Golf Company came to my booth. I told him about Arnold experience with the Dream Swing out in Utah and told him I would be happy to set one up in Arnold’s exercise that he could swing during his recovery. The man said he would relay the message to Arnold. I gave him my contact information and he left. That night when I returned to my hotel room there was a message from Arnold’s office. It said, “Arnold won’t be swinging a club until the end of April or the first of May. Contact him back then.”  I did this and while on a business trip to Orlandoin May I drove to Bay Hill and waited for Arnold to finish a business meeting before going with him t o the back range at Bay Hill to set him back into the Dream Swing. I set it up and he began swinging The Dream Swing. He swung several swing and a person there with him said, “Arnold, what do you think of this.” Arnold then said, “this forces me to swing the way I’m supposed to swing. I’ve always had this problem of blocking my follow through and this forces me to extend out and finish with my hands up where there supposed to be.”  The fellow then asked, “how do you know where to set it?” Arnold then said, “yah, how do you know where to set it? I swung it fine with you out in Utah and took it back to Latrobe and after swinging it I couldn’t hit the ball.” I had him step to the stand and he could see that the height was adjusted to the level of his nose for the 5 iron he that was in the Dream Swing. I told him there would be a different adjustment for each club but that he needed to set it so it felt good.  He would know where the best spot for him was by how it felt.The following year I was back at Park City and was able to speak with Mr. Palmer. I asked him how the Dream Swing was working for him and he said, It works great when I have time to swing it. Several months after my visit with Arnold at Bay Hill I was showing it to a golf editor and commented that I had set Arnold into it and left one with him. He said, “Right now, Arnold Palmer is swinging the most technically correct golf swing he has swung in his life.” I guarantee that YOU will experience a dramatic improvement when you start using the Dream Swing.
