I saw someone with a bed cover that was about 1/3 the size of the bed. That might be an option. I don't know if it was a custom job or what.

I have a Line-X spray-in liner in one truck, and a rubber mat in the other.  The clubs don't move at all.  The truck with the Line-X has a tonneau cover to hide them.  With the other truck, if I need to go somewhere where I can't see the truck, I just put them up front.

I use one of those cargo retaining bars across the back to make a "pocket" for the clubs. The bar is covered with a couple of towels for protection. My "bag of stuff" and carts, etc are just forward of that.

I have a locking fiberglass hard cover for the bed so, all the golf equipment stays in there all season.

You bet. I use it to haul my golf clubs.

LOL (the salesman was cringing)  I could get my bag to fit, but not without removing the longer clubs from the bag first and there was absolutely no space for anything else.   Yes, I know weak excuse.........but the non-usable trunk space would have driven me nuts over time.

LOL......I did the same thing when I bought a Mazda RX-8 several years ago......they had even had a TV commercial where they put a set of clubs in the trunk.  when i asked the salesman to put my clubs in the trunk....he did, but had to take the driver out....I bought the car anyway.

Thought the picture of my Silverado with a little snow might make some of us feel a little better in this god-forsaken heat!!

I ALWAYS have my clubs in the extended cab.  Travel 30,000 to 40,000 miles/year and they are always with me.  If I have passengers, the Weatherguard box is extra wide.  I'll just take the time to dump the tools, etc. in my garage and I can put a set of clubs in the box... locked.  Some have suggested just putting them in the bed of the truck.  My truck has a LineX liner.  I would never put my bag back there.  I love the LineX, but it is extremely abrasive and don't know how the bag would look after a trip.  Also... I would be afraid to stop and use the restroom or do anything that would take my eyes off the truck.  People will steal anything out of a truck bed and would make a bee line to a set of golf clubs left unattended.

If you have 16" clearance in your truck bed, I think the following product will work perfectly:

Go to:

http://www.pickupspecialties.com/DU-HA/duha_tote_suv_storage_box.html

Hope it works for you.

If someone can find one requiring no more than 14.5" clearance, let me know.

I keep mine in a toolbox in the back of my truck all the time, never keep tools in it at all so its just the clubs and a couple folding chairs. I have the ability to keep them locked and they stay out of the weather all the time. Also am able to keep extra ball, tees etc... in it without taking up truck space

A bag of golf clubs is way too heavy to be picked up by the air stream flowing into the bed. If you put them in the bed right next to the cab, they're in a dead zone because the cab creates a wind shadow. You won't have to tie them down. Nor will they slide around unless you drive your truck like a wild man.

Well, they won't as long as you don't have one of those "plastic" bedliners! My buddy did, and he was one of those "hundred bungee cord" guys. I have a tonneau cover and rubber bed mat. Nothing goes anywhere!

My clubs ride in the front seat of one of my trucks, and the back seat of the other. Same with my trolley. 

Bungee cords work quite well if they ride in the bed. They keep them from moving around. That said, the bed of the truck is not a place to put clubs. I know some guys who have stopped at 7-11, and when they came out their clubs were gone. Easy pickens. I lost all my softball gear that way.

I had a brain fart once, where I put the bag of clubs in the bed. I was going straight to the course with no stops. On the way there I saw a "Free Car Wash" sign. One those you just pull in, and ride through. Yep, not only did my truck get clean, so did my golf bag, and head covers. Took some heavy duty ribbing from buddies on that fiasco.  Played a decent round though. 

As for storage, depending on where  you live, the ambient temps could cause damage to clubs. Excess heat can ruin grips, and epoxied fittings. Not good for the bag either. Extreme cold is not a good thing either.

My clubs live in my locker at the course so they rarely go anywhere. When I do take them somewhere they go in the back of my truck, loose. I am not sure how the rest of you drive, but my clubs do just fine in the back of my truck without tying them down.

      My Swing (boogielicious)

      By iacas · Posted

      Only two things I'd worry about a little right now (though this is without seeing face-on views… you know better!) Stop extending the right knee so much. Hands have to move a bit more aggressively "away" (from the target and ball), perhaps with some forearm twisting clockwise from your POV, to start the downswing.

      My Swing (boogielicious)

      By boogielicious · Posted

      I haven’t posted a video in quite a while (or practiced for that matter) due to some health issues. I was able to get a couple of down-the-line videos today at the range. Still have a bit of the same issues, but it’s playable while I work on the swing. I apologize for the construction noise. I do notice my rehearsal swing has higher hands than my final swing. I’ll try to get some face on swings at my home setup in the near future.

      Why You Should Measure Your Swing (AMG Video)

      By iacas · Posted

      Golfers want consistency. It begins with consistency of: recording your swing often putting the camera in the same place with the same angles, height, etc. focusing on one thing when you do look at the camera

      Why You Should Measure Your Swing (AMG Video)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      A good video on why measuring your swing, like with a GEARS system, is key to really figuring out what is going on in the swing.  One thing I didn't know, or didn't put two and two together, that the lens on your camera can impact how you view your swing using video. The part where they show the swing stopped, all three images are the same position of the same swing, but with different lenses on the camera shocked me a bit.  If you are going to use a camera, just realize it has limitations, and the importance to use the same camera with the same camera set up as much as possible for consistency.

      Thanks. I hope I do but I think I'm going to get stuck at 98 as two of the remainder tracks are notoriously difficult get on.   I have Turnberry, Troon, Skibo Castle, Ardfin and Crail Craighead left. I have a round at Turnberry booked in for later this year. Troon is accessible but the green fee is extortionate (compared to what we are used to) so I may go for that in 2027. Crail Craighead is easy enough through member guest sign on's so won't be an issue.  Skibo Castle is a private, exclusive members club who do not allow guests at all full stop. You have to know a member, who are very rare and secretive (often celebrities, like Harry Styles or other worldwide business types for example, who are supposedly members). So it is basically impossible and I am likely to be stuck with this one. Ardfin whilst bookable for the average joe - is bordering on extortion and I'm not sure I'll ever be able to afford it. You have to stay over at their 'hotel' and you have to book it out for X amount of people for at least two days and it costs upwards of 15-20k. Even if you divide that by say 12 players it's still far too much money unfortunately. With a bit of luck at somepoint in the future they may introduce a day rate, they had one a few years ago for 500 (GBP).  Fingers crossed however. I managed to get on the exclusive Loch Lomond easier than I thought it would be!
