The panel discuss Vaughn Taylor's use of a new piece of technology to help him with his swing. Is it the end for coaches?

With AT&T Pebble Beach champion Vaughn Taylor using swing technology to help improve his game, do machines signal the end for the traditional golf coach?

Taylor owns and uses a RoboGolfPro, which uses computers and a series of levers attached to a golf club to help guide a player through the correct stroke.

The equipment can be programmed using a PC to correct any bad habits, with the robots' movement editable to help rebuild a swing. 

As the technology saves the need for coaches to spend long periods of time analysing video replays or countless swings, could the machines soon be the answer to help players improve?
