CHARLOTTE, N.C. — After years of working out of the same no-frills equipment truck, Cobra Tour tech James Posey had to get accustomed to new digs this week at the Wells Fargo Championship. Not that he’s complaining.
Cobra’s glistening new Tour truck houses a multitude of club-building tools, gear and snacks — along with several prime hangout spaces when players need to take a break from practice. Think of it as a home away from home during the Tour season.
With nearly four times the space, Posey and Tour rep Ben Schomin can knock out any project for Rickie Fowler, Gary Woodland or Justin Suh and never feel cramped.
“Space was the biggest change,” Posey told GOLF.com. “The ease of setup is something you also take into account. Even though this truck is bigger, I can go from start to finish in about 20 minutes. We accomplished the goal of ease of setup, which was important.
“There’s a wow factor for sure. After staring at it on paper and computer screens for the last two years, it was cool to see it in front of you.”
For those who might never get a chance to see the truck in the flesh, GOLF.com has you covered with some insider shots from Cobra’s shiny rig. Check them out below.
