"IF" you have the right type golf bag. (2 shoulder straps) You can carry them on your back  I do, occasionally while wearing shorts, & sandels (golf shoes are in the bag  ;) :) ) Make sure that you have a bag head cover & duct tape it in place. NOTE: excessive speed does make it a little uncomfortable.

90 miles,,,,, hmmmm. Rent the clubs. I go 12 miles, & thats enough.

Update: Someone posted on this while I was typing my post. Yes,, it is like a big sail. &,,, holysmokes,,,, I finally have a "FULL MEMBER" yippie. I feel like a man now  ;D.

Speaking of golf,,,, T off time is 1:51  :)

solution?  play with one club, a seven iron.  drive, chip, putt, all with the one club.  nothing more humiliating than losing to a dude who is playing with a single club...

i'd say a putter is ok to include as well. Otherwise, all puts would be like shooting pool.

Magnus

yes, but you can do it with a 7 iron too, just takes a little adjustment and practice..  i've done this on a number of occasions.  the best part is outdriving dudes with a 7 iron, when they are using woods...

I strap clubs to my back when I head to the driving range.  I wear a small northface back pack which has all the straps and just strap the select clubs to the bag.  Kinda looks like i'm riding with ninja swords.  [moto] Never had a problem.  I'm also only going a few miles up the road.  You should just rent them and bring booze.   [beer]

You could always just get one of these...

(No, not the make the beast with two backsing Harley.)

How in the honey-bee's sweet honeycomb do I bring a few select clubs to the course on my Monster?...[/End Post]


I love this!  Is this a new filter like make the beasts with two backs...?

I've done this before...and believe it or not, is how I learned to play courses a lot better. 

Usually courses frown upon this as most have rules posted that each player must have their own clubs (plural)...and if there is a course marshall, they usually give hell for that.

If you wanted freedom of movement for the long haul I would look into wrapping and strapping to the frame underneath your legs on both sides like  [bacon]

Interesting....let us know how it turns out!
M-ROCin' it!!!

how about just duct taping the clubs youre bringing to your thighs

or zip tie them onto your framerails parallel  with the seat? might be uncomfortable having your legs sitting over them a little but it might work.



this just seems like too long a trip to be experimenting haha.

Saw a guy downtown last weekend on a classic Indian. He was in full cavalry scout western garb (we get a lot of that around here), including a leather rifle scabbard that ran along the right-hand fork tube. With rifle in place -- we're in an open-carry state here in Arizona.  Kinda like this:

Now THAT would be a cool way to tote your sticks...

Just get your buddies to haul your clubs in their car...

I'll use a "Sunday Golf Bag" or "Practice Bag" .... It's a small golf bag with strap for you to carry a wood, a few iron, putter & some other accessories ..... That should do it.

You could even ride up to 100 mph with ease ..... have fun.

I played golf for over 30 years and I remember I tried to haul my sticks to the course on what ever bike I had at the time .

It was only about a mile to the course and as I think back it was a real pain. So much so that I never tried it again. Going straight wasn't so bad , but turning was where the difficulty lay.

When you say you are a novice ,


I would say that using a different set of clubs won't affect your ability to enjoy your game.

If I were you, I would call ahead to the course and see if they have rental clubs and a dress code . That way you don't have to mess w/ a distraction at the least.

Maybe one of the people you are playing w/ can hook you up w/ a set of clubs if you tell them you are coming on your motorcycle.

As a novice you should beable to play in sneakers if you have a problem transporting your golf shoes. If your wearing a backpack you can take proper clothes if the course has a particular dress code.

Good advice. Some of these courses can be very anal on dress code. Nothing more frustrating then forking out a additional wade of cash for a over priced Golf shirt or pants.
