Yes, Its possible to fit a regular bag in the bag with the buckets-barely, just move the front seat up appropriately. However, gotta be careful of scratching the carbon backed buckets-use a towel to prevent contact. You may need to remove your driver from the bag. For this reason, I typically just use the front passenger seat for my bag.

I need to go find a car to check. Can some take a pic of the passenger bucket seat moved all the way forward- how much room there is?

No rush however as the entire car search has been put on hold for a bit as my wife just decided that she wants to put an offer in on a beach house. Have to see how that plays out before pulling the trigger.

Because they don't have the height adjustment which is mandatory in the USA, now.

JS...this or my F150 Fx4 is my golf club with wifey and/or the boy hauler. Trying to put clubs, especially two sets, in the back of a LWB car is pretty much folly, and besides anyone who owns a GT car has the wherewithal to own another vehicle better suited for the task. On top of all that, having played golf since I was a young man I for one am not real keen on taking my GT car to a place where hard urethane ***** that travel at over 100 MPH are in use by people who a large portion of have no idea where their ball is going on any given swing

Unfortunately I can only afford one car and am saving every penny for the GT car.

Are you able to move the bucket seats out of the way to slide a set of golf clubs in the back? Or is that only possible with the 18 way or 4 way seats? TIA.
if you have a passenger, just strap them to roof and make em hold his/her bag, so technically 2 people and 2 bags can fit. Tell passenger not to open mouth while driving. 😜🤪😝

Make sure all pockets are zippered shut, *****, tees, coins will fall out.

Definitely easier with sofa seats, but 2 normal sized bags fit in the back easy and like others said, you have to pull the woods out of the bags. I see a 992 Touring with Sofas in your future.

Tested this out as I’m playing down in Newport this weekend and rolling with a buddy. It’s definitely doable. Driver seat full forward passenger seat all the way back. I have a decent size stand bag as you can see in the pic. Put bottom of bag in first then top. You have to remove woods. Might want to add blanket and a couple pillows or something because the bag will tilt a$$ up from weight of irons. Couple pillows should do the trick. You’re welcky 😏

sorry for crappy pics. Low light in garage and before someone asks. The crease in seat back is from child seat I just took out to take a pic. It goes away. 😬

thanks. Added a proper golf cart to the stable. Much easier to load and I can still get there fast!

Reviving this thread again. Asking if anyone can kindly post pictures of the golf bag in the front seat. Also, to anyone who does this often, how is your front seat holding up? Thanks in advance.

I put my bag in the front seat of my GT4 with buckets all the time. If you’re careful in and out it’s no problem and no wear at all. The bottom of the bag sits in the floor well and the bag only touches the seat along the front edge of the seat.
