This may be a question that has been asked many times but I thought I would give it a go. 

I'm planning to buy a 50cc scooter, legally speaking a moped, to get to work as it is easier and cheaper than the bus.

I also like to play golf but haven't been out much since I sold my car about 2 years ago. So, is it legal to put my golf clubs on my back with the great backpack style harness and then jump on my hypothetical scooter to go the golf course? 

I can't see this as being anymore dangerous than riding with a large backpack, maybe safer as clubs aren't that heavy, but I can also see it possibly coming under the 'operating in an unsafe manner' section of the law which doesn't actually say you can't carry a BBQ on a motorbike but probably got this guy...

 

 Any thoughts?
