I don't get my MC till September and I forgot to do one thing......will golf clubs fit in the boot or will I have to put the seats down each time!!!??

Silvercooper · Jul 9th, 2003, 07:36 PM

You definitely need to put at least one seat down unless you have junior clubs!

Bonjour · Jul 9th, 2003, 07:59 PM

Seat down I'm afraid.

KenL · Jul 9th, 2003, 09:20 PM

Afraid you need to put one seat down but it's very easy to do as there's a lever on the back of the seat. Just lift it and the seat drops forward pretty flat. I also wrap an old sheet around the bag in case it's wet/dirty.

I think MINI should offer a proper Golf Package...

Doors & hatch are easily removed & rather than sliding the clubs in the back, a golfbag-rack could hold two bags vertically, as a golfcart would.

Of course, - "Please keep on the path."

1) With your standard stand-up bag, fold one seat down. cubs fit.

2) Get a nice skinny Sunday bag (got mine at Golfsmith, take the woods out, the bag with irons fits into the boot at a diagonal. Take the back shelf out, lay the woods diagonally with the heads poking up and left of the head rests.

#2 works pretty well. Best with a tinted back windows so no one can see in and get the idea thay they need your clubs more than you do.

Put them in the front and you won't have to fold anything down

besides, who needs anything else in the car but you and your clubs?

Tee hee, you will note my handle implies no golf clubs at all!

I had to take my clubs to the locker at the clubhouse. Not sure how much of a bind it will be - cant just nip to the driving range e.t.c. But that is the price for driving such a cool car.

FOUR!

Weeman82 · Jul 10th, 2003, 12:58 PM

Thanks for all your advice guys - Seats down it is then!!

MoonPie · Jul 10th, 2003, 03:23 PM

You might try carrying a bag over the roof rack, or attach rear rack for that, and still go golfing with 4 sums. I have seen a TV commercial (US) the other day, that golfers put golf bagas on the roof of old MINI, as compared to storing large bags in American car(buick or GM Commercial).

Buy a Buggy Bag from Mamas and Papas. You can fit a normal sized golfbag in there. Turn the bag on it's side so that the Mamas logo is visible and everyone will think you're just carrying a buggy.

euan · Jul 11th, 2003, 01:11 PM

dietcokeplease - very clever suggestion - I like!

I did the golf club test before buying my car, but decided I wanted the thing anyway no matter who unpractical. I always have a rug in the boot to cover the seats if I'm carrying anything like that, you never know what the day will bring, or what rubbish you may need to put in your boot! Also gives the auto changer a bit of protection.

simonm · Jul 11th, 2003, 09:26 PM

As mentioned earlier, an old towel over the bag to protect all that plastic. I scratched the back of my passenger seat with the zip on the top of bag. B*gg*r!

There is just one moon and one golden sun; And a smile mean friendship to ev'ryone; Through the mountains divide, and the oceans are wide; It's a small world after all.
