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. |

I would like to add a little something to this as I have worked in the golf industry for 40 of my 52 years of life, I have been a PGA Golf Professional for 25 years.
The 914 is the greatest car of all time the rear trunk with a width of 53"+ at the widest point and 44" just below the rear suspension points. For reference the average driver (which is your reference point) length in 1970-76 was 43"..... today's Drivers are a standard at 45-3/4". You can get two carry bags in the rear trunk or one cart bag. Today's big brands are: Ogio, Sun Mountain, Ping, Titleist, Nike etc... We marvel at the new cars with no ability to fit a set of clubs?, the Cadillac Hatchback SUV type thing.....you have to lay the back seat down as it is not wide enough with their "fit & finish" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) to get a single bag sideways in the back, or the other way? Other luxury brands thought this through and have plenty of room; Lexus, Mercedes, Porsche, BMW. Porsche had great foresight to know the Long Putter would also be a factor at 48" no problem fits right in the 914, but just until 2016 when the USGA will outlaw it's use in tournament play. The 914 the perfect companion to take on the most difficult game ever conceived, if you want to see a funny video about golf go to "You Tube" and check out Robin Williams rant on the game the funniest thing you'll ever hear whether you like golf or not! I like golf it has been very good to me!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) Vysoc (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) |
