2 sets of Golf Clubs in Cayman

I am getting ready to go on a driving trip in Wi to play some of their famed courses.


We are all going in our Porsches. I am taking my Cayman, my friend is taking his 06 C2s cabriolet, another is taking his 911 cab. Our fourth is trying to take his Camry. I think I am going to have to make him leave the Camry at home and ride with me. The 911 guys have to put their clubs in the front seat, and clothes in the trunk or back seat.


My plan is to make sure the rear view of the Cayman is the only view they have...





Question is has anyone ever put 2 sets of clubs in the back of the Cayman?





Courses we are going to try to play:


Blackwolf Run ( as many there as we can), Shoot the Bull, Erin Hills, The Bog, Hawks View and possibly University Ridge.ANyone have any experience with any of these?





Looking forward to a lot od great golf and cruising the back roads between courses. Glad I got the GPS in the car. V1 will be working overtime...

My general impression when this has been discussed (check 'Search' function) is that golf bags w/clubs fit in Caymans with the bottom of the bag at the very back, extending to club heads right behind the seat. So you should be able to put a set on each side, with some luggage in between, and more luggage under the hood.


Bon voyage.

I've had no problem fitting 2 full golf bags w/ 14 clubs each in my CS. In fact, you can actually fit 3 bags in the back, but why would you ever do that with a 2 seat car?



Keep in mind that I'm talking about normal carry bags with the built-in stands. The huge staff and/or cart bags will either not fit in the car, or will be very difficult.

Two lightweight carry bags with irons only will fit horizontally across the rear cargo space. The driver and fairway metals lay on top at an angle from the back seat to the opposite rear corner of the space. I have a couple of 'Sunday' bags that fit very nicely. If you want a photo, give me your email address and I'll send one. By the way, great courses. Keep it on the 'short stuff'.

Be careful with any golf bags!! I made an ugly scuff mark on the aluminum strip that crosses the rear compartment when my bag shifted as I was making a turn.



It is soft aluminum and marks easily. I now have a thick bath towel and cover it up when carrying anything back there.

I've had no problems fitting 2 bags in my Cayman, but I did get the scuffing that Terry B mentioned. Use a towel! Also, both Blackwolf Run course are amazing, (the River Course is unbelievable) and I also want to try Erin Hills this year, as is just opened. If you're up at Kohler visiting Blackwolf, I'd also stop over at Whistling Straits - another fab course where they held the PGA a couple of years ago. Good luck

Don't play the meadow course, it was a waste of time. I fit two bags vertically in the car, not horizontally as mentioned. Put the bottom of the bags towards the back and the club heads pointed towards the seats. As long as you have a stand bag it will fit very easily. No need to take the clubs out of the bag. Play the river and whistling straits. 2 great courses.

Two regular bags with stands fit vertically. I place a towel across the aluminum stip, so that the above doesn't happen. Also, it is best to remove drivers and place them in the same area by the bag, with the head at the rear of the car, so as not to bang the glass.

Sounds like there is a market for collapsible clubs... although I'm suspicious that clubs really make that much difference for most people anyway, I mean isa $10,000 set of clubs going to make me a pro vs. say the $200 set of clubs? I'd like to see some blind taste tests done! Oh yeah and a dyno chart! /fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/MWPX/tounge_smile.gif

While price doesn't define how good a club or set of clubs will be for an individual, I would definitely say that golf clubs and other equipment made in the last 5 years or so are definitely much more forgiving and easier to hit for the novice golfer. There are some clubs out on the market today that are so easy to hit it's scary - just getting any part of the clubface on the ball results in a decent, high, and straight ballflight.



The bottom line is, how well a club fits your build and swing is the most important factor.
