Default Plenty of room for groceries

NJ,

We have a 2 passenger club car; when not hauling golf clubs, we use the bag well for our 'carry area'. We put in one of those cheapo collapsible laundry hampers and lash it using a bungee cord to the small wire basket area behind the seat. Between the hamper and the wire basket, we easily carry $50 worth of groceries home in the golf cart.

I'm with others about the 2 vs 4 passenger decision....unless you will be using the extra people capacity quite often, you are much better off with 2 than 4. You sacrifice constantly for the rare needs of future visitors. Eventually, you might even consider a second 2 seater...you'll be surprised how often you and your spouse are contending for golf cart privileges. With 2 two-seaters, you're all set for company and each of you have your own cart to buzz off in different directions when you need to.
