golf clubs in 911
Discussion
I'm looking to move up from a Boxster to a 911 of some sort (probably a 996 C4S).
I'm also a keen golfer, and the Boxster is actually remarkably practical in that regard - a carry bag goes in the rear boot quite easily (with the woods removed).
How does the 911 cope with golf clubs? I guess you have to put them across the back seats? Or fold down the back seats?

With the back seats folded down a carry bag will fit across the top easily with the woods in.
I prefer to take the woods out and put the bag & irons at floor level. With the woods on top.
You wouldn't want to be hit on the back of the neck or head by a golf bag, should the worst happen.

not sure about a normal 911 - looks tight from what i rememver.
If you can, and this may sound strange but buy a GT2 or a GT3 without the rear rollbars...the perfect golfers porsche!!
You can Easily get 2 sets of clubs without removing the 'big sticks' and some additional luggage.
Very easy with 'sports seats'. tight squeeze with buckets, but still fairly easy with carry bags (and mines a large carry bag)
This was my rationale for buying a GT2!!!

I'm afraid it definitely won't be a GT2 or GT3 - way out of my price range If you can, and this may sound strange but buy a GT2 or a GT3 without the rear rollbars...the perfect golfers porsche!!

Also, my main reason for going from Boxster to 911 is to get the back seats for the kids! Obviously, the extra performance is a nice bonus

They fit perfectly. I have a 996 C2 and the clubs go in the back with the back seats folded down. Just move passenger seat fwd and tilt (for entry only), clubs go in diagonally, bottom of golf bag to far rear (i.e. behind driver) and the club heads sit nicely at front edge of rear (passenger side) seat, including woods and a driver. Then loop rear passenger-side seat belt over top of club shafts, where they emerge from the bag and pull back to hold them in place when you brake. Once that is done the passenger seat can be slid back to accomodate passenger.
I have a Powercaddie Twinline 3 trolley, which is a 3 wheeled push trolley. This fits easily in the boot without removing wheels. There is room in the boot for other clobber (balls / shoes etc). Note that the 2wd models have more boot depth than 4wd ones, so not sure you'd get a trolley in the boot of a 4wd model.
There was also plenty of room behind and around the golf bag, between the seat backs and squabs and behind the seats for enough luggage for me and Mrs Diesel to do a 12-day tour of Europe too!! Great car!
