Can I buy a few extra-long handlebar stems, or a few seat post that allows the seats to go way, way back?
thx...
So you're saying that a 52cm frame is too small? Try a larger size. How your feet touch the ground has next to nothing to do with bike fit. I also have a long torso & short-ish legs, so end up with more saddle set-back, but also short-ish arms so not a long stem.
I don't know much about golf, but don't you basically need clubs that reach from your hands to the ground?
Also, it's likely that your body proportions developed much later than when you were born. (sorry for the nit-pick)
