Wondering if anyone has figured out how to carry a full bag of golf clubs and maybe a fold-up pull cart in their 914. I would love to start playing more courses around central California and double the pleasure with driving my Porsche.
I recently saw someone at our local course putting his clubs in the back of a 914/6 but I can't imagine the Driver and fairway woods fitting back there.
Anyone fabricate a exterior rack for their bag? I'm thinking it could be done and maybe even hold two bags.

A normal sized golf bag fits in the rear trunk or alternatively you can put the top in the trunk and put the bag on your passenger seat.

I do have a pretty big bag. Not really made for shoulder carry. The problem I've had with the bag in the pass. seat is that it tends to want to move around too much even tied down with the seat belt. I probably could figure out some sort of cradle so it would stay.

Smaller bag....

I got one of the bags that has an integrated back pack style set of straps.
No more cart, better for the back to walk straight and not be twisted while pulling a cart.
Also, better overall to walk the course.

Bag fits fine in the trunk, and all my crap fits in it.

Clean out the old bag...
I also have a shoe bag with other shit in it, also fits in the trunk next to the smaller bag.

A Porsche 914 is a beautifully designed, well made, delight to drive. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Golf on the other hand is a sick, masochistic endeavor. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) Why would anyone in their right mind want to mix the two?

I will look tomorrow, but it think it's an OGIO bag.
Smaller than a cart bag.
Specifically wanted to fit in the car, and walk.
So less weight.
Has backpack straps with an integrated waist belt
Has integrated stand.

Weighs empty about 15 pounds, maybe...
Lays down flat, fits in rear trunk.

Clubs fit fine in the trunk. The pull cart can be a challenge. I've had luck with a click gear in the front trunk with the spare tire out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif).

I can't imagine driving to a golf course in something other than a targa......I'm sorry, just can't.

My golf bag fits in the rear trunk of my 914.

Doesn't fit in the trunk of my 911. Has to go on the front seat. Problem is it rolls around when I corner to the point where I have to put the seat belt on the golf bag to keep it from attacking me on right hand corners.

Last year I bought a nice light carry bag-nike, still has all the pockets and I carry a full set , fits perfect in the 914 . In fact it also fit in the trunk of my boxster if I took the woods out and put them in separately.

He says with a 911 engine in his avatar...

Years ago I had a pull cart that had removable wheels, that would fit in the back of my 914. A couple years ago I got a cool collapsible pull cart that folded very compactly.

Now I have really bad tendonitis and haven't played golf in about two years. Boo
