GolfSpy_THV 1,083 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 So, here's one that's loosely related to this category, but...well, it doesn't fit anywhere else, haha. What is the best car for golfers? Is there a best way to carry your clubs in comfort and protection? Question was posed over on a UK site (ATTN: EU readers!), and personally I like #2 on their list (link:https://uk.sports.yahoo.com/news/best-cars-golfers-073157443.html?) but thought I would get a perspective from around the globe! Maybe we can compile the top choices here and create a poll 2 Quote In my Hoofer: G410 LST 10.5* - Evenflow Black 65 6.0 VRS Covert 3W 15* - Kuro Kage 65 S-flex D7 4-GW, KBS 105 Glide 2.0 Stealth 54.12 SS & 58.10 SS Zing 2 LW - 60* Anser 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Tom the Golf Nut 4,230 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Whenever I shop for a car I take a set of clubs with me. If they don't fit easily, then no deal. Some car salesmen get it and some think I'm crazy. Current golfing vehicle. 2018 Chevy Impala. Comfortable cruiser, decent gas mileage, fits 3 sets of clubs plus three pieces of luggage in the trunk. Can't do a foursome unless it is a golf only day trip. I like a sedan as a golf vehicle. Everything is hidden in the trunk. Very helpful where club theft is common in tourist golfing areas. Seen to many smashed windows in SUV's with clubs stolen. 6 Quote Driver, G400 11* SR Flex 3 Wood, SLDR HL 17* R Flex 5 Wood, SLDR 19* R Flex 7 Wood, F6 22.5* R Flex Irons, 699 Pro's S Flex (5 - AW) JB Wedge 56* Wedge, CBX 60* Putter, Marksman Fang 35" Link to post Share on other sites
Siamese Moose 447 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 If you're buying new I think everybody allows overnight test drives. I brought a couple cars home specifically to load them up (not just clubs) before I made a decision. 4 Quote Moose, my cat, is Siamese Link to post Share on other sites

bens197 7,821 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 I bought a VW Atlas and it’s huge. Interior cargo space rivals a Tahoe for a fraction of the price. My pit rides comfortably in the back along with our luggage for trips. That includes plenty of space for clubs. 5 Quote PING G400 LST 8.5 Evenflow Black 65g 6.5 TaylorMade SIM2 3 wood Fujilkura Ventus Blue 7-X Mizuno HMB MP20 3i Nippon Modus 3 120S Ben Hogan PTx Combo Nippon Modus 3 120S TaylorMade MG2 TW 56 & 60 Nippon Modus 3 120S Scotty Cameron Phantom X 11.5 TaylorMade TP5 Western, NY 5.7 Index Link to post Share on other sites
Hook DeLoft 356 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Well, any minivan, but most men don't want to go there. 3 years ago I was shopping for an SUV and had picked out one based on research and looks. I took my clubs with me and they wouldn't fit without folding down the rear seat so I didn't even drive it. Ended up going up one size in the manufacturer's line up. 4 Quote 14 of the following: Ping G400 Max Cobra King F9 Speedback 3 wood Callaway Big Bertha Heavenwood Cobra F9 Speedback 7/8 wood set at 23.5 degrees Taylormade M4 5 hybrid Callaway Mavrik Max 6-GW PXG 0211 5-GW PXG 0211 sand wedge bent to 53 degrees Maltby M Series+ 54 degree Ping Glide 3.0 Eye2 58 degree Ping Sigma 2 Anser Link to post Share on other sites
