I usually end up kind of drunk when I go; it's a good time with my friends. Golf clubs do fit; I have actually left my set in the car for a month or so, and I still have enough space to get more yunk in the hatch. I have a coupe, so that might be why.

I pay to play golf for sure and yes I can get two sets into the car. Actually it is easier than doing it with the Caddy CTS. Go figure.

Actually one of the major components of playing golf is how cool of a car do you have when you pull up to the bag drop area. I was sorely lacking in this critical area until I got my vette.

I took the Vert one time to a very nice course here in Western PA. If anyone is from around here, it was Olde Stonewall. I fit 2 sets of clubs in the Vert with the top down no problem. It was awesome pulling up to the bag drop and seeing the looks of the kids working there. I do not like taking it to the local course. I came back to my Monte SS before and found a golf ball dent in the hood and it was parked up against the clubhouse. Still can't figure out how that happened.

Yes, the experiences seem so much the same. People wondering where all this equiptment is coming from. I also hold a 9.2 hcp and still beat my head against the wall. This weekend four of the guys are going to hilton head to play a week of goof Really not the place to play when you only have a few games under your belt this year.

Love the game. Started playing 12 years ago as a fallback in case my knees got too bad for tennis. Once I started breaking 100 regularly I was totally hooked. Still playing tennis but prefer golf.
My better half is taking up the game, and we can get both sets of clubs plus pull carts into the hatch, no problem. Problems start when she dribbles one about 5 yards off the tee and I have a mental spasm and say the wrong thing...
I've had people walk up and act amazed when they see how much I can pull out of that hatch. It's when I tell them it gets 30MPG highway and cost me less than $15K that really sends them over the brink. Love this car...

I have a hard top and two large bags fit easily. I could put more tripod or carry bags in too, if take out the trunk divider. I have my bag in the trunk all season. You never know when a golf game will break out

To me it is the best of both worlds. Get to drive the vette to the golf course(take the long way), play a round, then jump back in the Vette and take the long way back home, pick up the wife and go to dinner. Now that's a nice day.

Play a two man senior scramble every Thursday!! Thus played 18 today!! Plenty of room for 1 bag in my FRC,,,,two would be a bit more of a challenge!! Love driving the vet to play,,,heck I drive it everywhere!!

I play..... I can get two cart bags in with top down, but I pull the woods from one bag and lay on top. Not much room for much else after the two bags. I'm sure that with skinny'er bags I would have more room for other supplies.
Some days just work out perfect, driving the vette both ways and having a good round of golf.
