Porsche golf bag - will it fit in the trunk of a '75 911?

[Dennis Kalma]

My old bag is dead, tried another one, but it is too chubby to fit in the vertical space in the trunk. I was wondering if Porsche was clever enough to make their bag fit an "old" 911?

Anyone got one/tried it?

Dunno...pretty sure my pool cue case would fit, though...

Sure, but your pool table won't.

[pwd72s]

Neither would a golf course. Ever noticed how the more upscale a guy is, the smaller the game balls become?

[svandamme]

isn't it a pain in the proverbial ass to open up the trunk every time you wanna whack the ball and need to pick a stick?

also , do you have studded tires?? what kind of grip are you getting on the grass??

[Dennis Kalma]

Gee, thousands of unemployed comedians and you guys are trying to be funny....

Just because I indulge in the sport of chasing a little ball around a course with an oddly shaped set of sticks, it does not make me incapable of normal conversation...which is apparently a material difference between you lot and I.

...now is there even the remotest chance of getting an intelligent comment from any of you? ...Dhr. v Damme, I can forgive, afterall, all they have near Rotterdam is mini-golf.....further north in the civilized end of the country, things get better of course...

...let the sport begin....

any intelligent comment, on OT, on any weekend evening other then maybe on a sunday evening , is strictly prohibited.

EDIT btw, there's a minigolf anywhere in Rotterdam??? got an adress??

i'm thinking magic mushrooms and heavy beer, and , obviously a hocky stick, anything worth doing , is worth doing right

Here's a link w/ the measurements if this is the bag you're thinking of.

Porsche Golf Bag
This top of the line, lightweight golf bag offers a comfortable double strap carrying system as well as an automatic stand mechanism. Unique to these Porsche bags, two of them can fit in the rear luggage compartment of all Boxster models, the Cayman S, and they can also be stored in the rear seat of the entire range of 911's. To fit them in the back luggage compartment, simply take the woods out of the bag and place them in the trunk first, then put the bag in. Diameter: 9.5" Exterior Dimensions: 11" (L) x 13" (W) x 32.5" (H). Shipping cost $19.99 UPS ground, continental US

Butzi's company designed both...so you'd think that he would have thought of making the two work together..

[Dennis Kalma]

Yup, that's it....question is whether anyone has actually tried it...

The dimensions are probably including the bags on the side, what is critical for fitting is the dimension of the base or foot of the bag....it probably cannot be much more than about 8" of plastic on the base, otherwise it will not fit...less would be even better.

The local dealer does not stock one for me to try, once I order it, it will be mine whether it fits or not....hence the questions...

Thanks

My local dealer has one in stock, if you like, I can check fitment.

[Dennis Kalma]

Thanks for the offer Byron....I would happily take you up on it if it is not too much trouble.

BTW, there is no rush at all (golf season is over up here), just whenever you have the opportunity....and if it does not happen, no worries.

Thanks

I have absolutely no idea if anyone cares about this.....but I went ahead and bought the Porsche bag in a fit of spending madness.

Now, having recovered, it IS a nice bag, lots of good parts and pockets, including an insulated drink holder for that special bottle we all need to play golf well.

Does it fit? yes, but barely. I have to take the drivers out and the put the bottom end of the bag up towards the passenger compartment. And the bottom is just small enough to fit under my strut brace. Just for reference, this is the '75 911....

So success!

Does anyone care besides me? Do I care what you care? Am I talking to myself again?

Dennis

[BeyGon]

What do you do with the clubs when you drive the 89 911?
Put them in the front seat?

[Dennis Kalma]

'89 is in a million parts right now, but i see no difference for it. My '75 has a power brake booster so the trunks are virtually identical....


Did I say it was a nice bag?

Pix???

Fun fact I learned when I was being certified to be a Porsche salesman in the `80's: one of the design requirements from Porsche was that it would hold a set of golf clubs. The question is, has the size of golf bags changed? If so, then in typical Porsche style, you'll have to find a NLA NOS golf bag!

[p911dad]

A sunday bag fits for sure, but you have to remove the driver, and maybe the 3 wood, but they will lay alongside the bag. A staff bag will not fit, no way. It's not the length, it is the width of the bottom assembly-you can't get the lid down. Glenn

[Dennis Kalma]

Here is a pic of the bag in the car....tight fit as you can see.
