I'm not quite to the point of going for a Prius....but might get one as a secondary commuter car.

How much gear can a Prius fit? Can it fit two cart bags easily? Probably going to need to fold the rear seats down for that?

Guess the other concern is that if I do fold the seats down...my clubs will be visible and may be stolen. Can't have that happen.

What does everyone do when you have an economy car where your clubs are visible?

I don't have a Prius, so I can't comment on the storage space. But most hatchbacks/SUVs/etc these days have a retractable cover thing that covers the stuff in back so people can't tell if you have anything back there.

EDIT: In fact, I found a picture of the one for the Prius:

I dont know how much you are trying to get in there. But one of our two cars, is a Volvo S40. It has a smaller trunk than the Prius and we can fit 2 large cart bags in ours with no issues.

Thanks...I do realize that there are covers. However...I am guessing that the clubs would have to go into the trunk length wise...as the trunk width is not wide enough...even when pulling the driver out of the bag.

I'm almost positive you could get 2 stand bags in there no problem. At the very rear, the space gets wider, and you could fit them diagonally as well.

I use a cart bag since courses I play don't allow walking.

Maybe the bag will fit diagonally when I am tooling around solo. I just want to make sure I can conceal my bag when I leave it in the car when I grab a bite to eat before/after the round...or if I run an errand. My golf playing partners typically have a cart bag too. Guess that is when the rear seats fold down.

In California...you can't tint the front three windows (windshield and two front windows). So that isn't an option for us.

As long as your drive a mostly stock car (not lowered, lifted, crazy paint job etc.) and dont limo the the front door windows, you will never get pulled over for window tint. My experience anyway. Maybe cops down there are more bored than up North though.

I could probably fit 5-6 bags in a Prius. I managed to stuff 2 full size cart bags in a S2000 a few nights ago.

I can fit two cartbags in the backseat of my truck... if you can't fit two of them in the TRUNK of a Prius, the Prius is worthless.

To avoid getting them stolen, you cover them with either a retractable cover or a blanket, tarp, or similar item.

I threw my clubs into the lake so it's time to start over...

Im sure you could easily get 2 golf bags in the back of a Prius. As far as concealing them, why not just lay a blanket over the bags?

I have a prius and I can easily fit 2 stand bags in the trunk and pull the cover over them. If I don't use the cover, I can fit 4 in the trunk, though it's a little tight.

I faced the same issue, but with a Mini in NYC. In case you can't fit them in the trunk without folding down the seats, I was able to buy an after-market luggage cover that velcros on to the rear window sill (and the tiny cover over the tiny trunk space). End result: nothing to see at all, with two bags or one and a pull cart.

I can't seem to find the place online anymore, but I'll snap some pics next time I have my clubs in the car.

I have a Prius and I can fit my full size bag (not supersize pro bag) across the car in the spot where the trunk widens (nearest the hatch back door). I also have my disassembled power walk behind cart in this space between the bag and the rear seat backs. I can cover this all with the retractable thing pictured in another post.

i have a 2012 Honda insight EX and i can fit 2 stand bags easily in my trunk.  I do have to take my driver out and put them in separately because i have to angle it to get it in.

you should check out the Insight.  Not as gay as a prius.  Cheaper.  2mpg less than a prius.  Check out fuelly.com for the gas specs.

      First Season With Blades - Let's Discuss

      By tomfig · Posted

      I’d go with the Titleist if you liked the look of the blades but were suffering with distance. They should be a little more forgiving than a full blade and still retain some workability. Also remember to consider the shafts each have as this will be a big contributor to how they feel. Clemsonfan is right though… get fit or spend a bit of time on a launch monitor 🤙

      My Swing (Tomfig)

      By tomfig · Posted

      Hi All my New Year’s resolution was to start playing golf again. I’ve caught the bug and am really enjoying hitting balls at a couple of my local ranges.looking forward to getting back out on courses in the spring. Based in the UK and 38 years old, I’ve been playing since I was a kid. Best handicap I’ve held is 2 in my mid 20s. Over the past 10 years I’ve played once or twice a year, sometimes with friends or for work. Could shoot 4-5 over, but just as easily shoot 15-20 over. I’ve moved to South Wales and am very lucky to be near some world class links courses, which gives me even more motivation to get playing again! I will start looking for a local coach in my area when I have more time to invest, but I recalled scouring this forum a few years ago and finding some good tips and advice so wanted to give it a try to see if there were any glaring issues I could fix in the meantime!  A few swings below… one from 1st week Jan and one from today. I have fixed my P1 takeaway to my liking and am now working on what I see as pretty severe early extension & hip thrust. Also terrible hip rotation. I’d like confirmation that this is indeed a problem and and suggestions on a few good drills. Thanks for reading 🙂 I've been Playing Golf for: 30+ years My current handicap index or average score is: 10ish over My typical ball flight is: mid The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: push right with irons, hooks and push with driver!  Videos:
