I've seen food trucks. Flower trucks. Kitchen utensil sharpening trucks. Library book trucks. Art class trucks. Commuter pass trucks. I never really thought of golf lesson trucks, but it doesn't seem like that crazy an idea to me.

It has a Trackman, video, although I don't know how they do face on video. It looks like that's an A/C unit?

The instructional per hour rate is pretty steep, but it is San Francisco and COLA, plus it does come to you.

Our Why

Professional-level golf simulator (like Trackman), equipment, and coaching can be expensive and difficult to access. Golf is an amazing sport that goes beyond hand-eye coordination and teaches us about patience, composure, confidence, and sportsmanship. We believe golf should be more accessible to the world.

Our Mission

Our mission is to lower the barrier to entry to learn golf and give anyone access to the best golf simulator technology (like Trackman), equipment, coaching, and data - anytime, anywhere.

Our Vision

Our vision is a future where tens of thousands of Dryveboxes are mobilized around the world, offering a wide variety of high-quality golf simulator and entertainment experiences.

Do they play the same music the Ice Cream Truck plays?

Clearly, I'm not the target audience for this product. Getting old sucks. 

I'm watching it saying (out loud no less) "Damned it, can you stop with the quick cuts?! Hold the camera still? Would you just show the inside of the truck? Geez, get a haircut you damned hippie! ... Get off my lawn!!"

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

I've been following this company casually and it seems it's doing well, it's trying to raise money to expand. It was in New York and I missed it. If I hear where it'll show up around here, will try and pay it a visit. Still wondering how it does face on video though. Looks like it just doesn't. Maybe you could put a window on one of the sides.

10 miles of 80%? How many boxes would that be? Jeez.

So according to this piece, the idea came about because wife would not let hubby build a simulator at home so he said let's make a mobile one and park it outside, lol.

This piece was published early August and this was the size of the fleet:

Quote

There aren’t enough Dryveboxes to make that happen, but Yang, Hutt and their third business partner, Mike Leong, are busy building out a fleet. To date, they have four mobile simulators roaming the country. Six more are soon to be set loose. Yang envisions blanketing the domestic market, then launching the concept overseas.

Dryvebox mobile golf simulators can be booked for lessons or outings. But they also could prove to be powerful vehicles for growing the game.

There is hope for you!   I too was a curmudgeon,  but I saw the light.   I don't know which light but now I'm a reformed curmudgeon! 

I don't see this working in SE Michigan.  There are too many golf courses and indoor simulators available at a reasonable price.

That would be a cold trackman setup in my neck of the woods now.

    • I kind of like this interpretation especially if you think about it the unplayable rule would probably put you in a better spot.  using back on the line releief.  
    • I did not realize that, I was thinking a more traditional golf club.  
    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.
