I take my son and my golf bag in the rear trunk without issues. If I don't want to carry the bag, I rent a pull cart for $2....
the 914 is by far the most practical Porsche, even for general/grocery shopping. |

I first built the "fastest golf cart" (914 with Chev V8) and was it quick. Problem I could only use it going to and fro the golf course; golf clubs were attached to a modified ski rack and two of us went golfing.
When I retired sold the old clubs and never looked back, more than enough to do in retirement. |

QUOTE(Elliot Cannon @ Nov 7 2014, 11:44 PM)  It is true,I narrowly missed that obsession of the mind,the perfect game. Hooked while I watched Jack Nicklaus play 274(-6) to run-up by a stroke at the '65 Canadian Open. Uncalculated time spent in practice,years of a lifetime on that very course. It all came to fruition when I was invited to play a company tournament in '04. A dogleg right par 4 past a line of mature trees,the entire exec staff looking on. Test the wind,sweat on the brow,intense concentration,eye the ball,dig in the stance. A perfect drive 40' over the trees,and still climbing,fading gently right beyond the apogee in the light breeze. Perfect ting of the club face and a huge distance,seen only at the apex,the follow-through paramount. The drive,the result of great practice,any pro would be proud of under the pressure,although nothing like what the the pros endure. Why,I occasionally find myself watching them on TV to make comparisons. https://www.google.ca/maps/@43.5488093,-79....1!1e3?hl=en |

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) |

He's right,it is the most difficult game,I liken it to a game of snooker on a sloped table a few thousand yds long.

My 914 was a former golf car. Dad used to take it and play 2-3 times a week in the 80s. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)
