Golf clubs in a long body

[NewMoon]

Taking 1 set of clubs in a smallish carry bag in my Ovation. Load through baggage door or passenger door?

I assume the back seats will flip down flat.But i've never had the reason to try. Any inpu

Will fit fine with one backseat folded, probably goes through baggage door

Sounds great appreciate the input

Not an issue, depending on driver length you may put the head of the driver in the hat rack and end over the back seat. You won’t need to remove your seats

A carry bag fits in the cargo compartment standing up, there’s no need to fold down the back seat. Irons fit cross way, I only put the woods (heads in the hat area) across the seat backs.

The only way to get the back seats to fold really flat is to remove the bottom cushions. FYI. Take off the headrests too if you want to move the front seats the full travel range.

Slide them in through the baggage door and have someone help from the inside pull them up over the back seat head rest. Three sets go in easily, just pull the back seat head rests off and lay the two back seats down.

In my '82J  the back of the back seat slides off the base, the bottom cushion are on the floor in the hanger.   The base of the back seat back folds down flat.   I think the TLS does the same thing.

You can load through the luggage door but you'll find it easier with a step stool to keep from beating up the opening while trying to tilt the bag while feeding it forward.

Loading through the cabin door is easier, but then you have to negotiate getting the bag up and down from the wing without beating up the flap trailing edge.

Ok, good. Appreciate the info

We took my '81J to a golf tournament a couple of weeks ago. We managed to fit 3 sets of clubs, 3 adults, and 3 back packs in without too much of a fuss. We took the longer clubs out of all three bags, stood 2 bags up in the baggage area, and stood one bag up in the rear passenger seat. We laid the longer clubs across the back seat/baggage area/hat rack. One backpack went in the baggage area, one went on the backseat floor in front of the seat with the clubs on it, and one went on my wife's lap in the back passenger side seat.

It's an easy sell when your other option is a 4 hour drive across East Dakota!
