Mobile teaching and custom fitting

[Mobilepro]

Hi all a bit of a newbie here but was wondering what do people think of a mobile teaching and custom fitting golf van. I'm thinking of having a mini tour van with virtual screen that I can teach and custom fit clubs that come round to your house, golf club any hour of the day by an ex PGA pro and European coach can I have your comments good or bad please.

I'm sure every clubs pro would be very welcoming to someone who is going to attempt to take business away from them

Sorry but can't see where exactly it would fit in the market

Not every golf pro has this technology and some people can't make club pro timings, thanks for the input

Doesn't matter what technology they have - no golf club is going to allow you to park up and take the pros business

Very true mate was thinking more down the line of private lessons at home and corporate events? And was thinking about the clubs that don't have pros

 

[Farneyman]

I like the idea as not all clubs have pros and it may be something they would be interested in.

How much would you charge for a lesson at someone's house?

Lessons at home is the one thing that could work - provided that there is somewher to park, I'm guessing that they have the lesson inside the van ?

What would you do at Corporate events ?

 

[Mobilepro]

Haven't got that far yet but not far from normal rate

 

[Mobilepro]

Yes lesson inside the van and the corporate side would hire the van for the day for closet to the pin or longest drive

Can't see the appeal on a corporate day or something that makes it financially worthwhile

The one that could see is the lessons at home but even then it's a market that is very full in most areas with clubs having a pro and most golfers having lessons with their club pro

Have you looked into the cost of a big van, fuel, insurance, not forgetting the cost of all the software/hardware and custom fit equipment ?

Looked at van and software and hardware could do it for less than 15k not thought about the rest. This was just an idea to start with but no one else is doing it in Britain and it works in USA totally understand population is much greater but surely this can make a decent income?

I don't see it making enough money to make it worthwhile

And don't think £15k would get you much of a van

Also all the manufacturers have their own tour trucks which visit areas

 

[Mobilepro]

I'm based up in scotland and the tour buses don't visit regularly only to big companies American golf. The amount of golf courses as I'm sure your aware up here is amazing and a good few don't have pros for some bizarre reason or there that old they don't care.

How big would it be?

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Can't see being viable. Certainly not rocking up to clubs where they already have pros working there. It would need to be a huge van and not sure you'll get one for 15k including the technology and there will be issues parking such a large vehicle at customers houses. I admire the idea but think the reality has a lot of issues to be overcome

Sounds good. Will you cover Scotland?

I think the concept is a good one. With the right equipment it could be a popular alternative to rushing to the course/range after work. Id imagine the hours could be unsociable though. Good luck...hope it works out.
