2nd Swing Golf Giftly

2nd Swing Golf in Minnetonka is a specialty golf retailer that has grown from a small buy-sell-trade operation into a regional destination for golfers who want equipment that fits. Founded by former University of Minnesota golfers and launched in the Twin Cities area in the mid-2000s, the brand built its reputation on an unusually deep selection — thousands more club options than a typical big-box shop — and on-personalized service that centers on custom fitting.

At the Minnetonka location, the experience is engineered for golfers who want measurable improvement. The staff combines modern launch-monitor technology and simulators with hands-on expertise to compare shafts, heads and lofts until a set of clubs truly suits a player’s swing. Fitters including long-standing technicians and club builders take time to establish a baseline using a customer’s existing clubs, then test multiple models to identify the best match; many fittings end with small adjustments or same-day builds so players can head to the course with confidence. There is an emphasis on honesty and value: fitters will recommend whether a new driver or a well-chosen used club is the smarter purchase.

Beyond fittings, the Minnetonka store houses a wide inventory of new and used clubs, shoes and apparel tailored to a range of skill levels, from beginners buying a first set to experienced players seeking incremental gains. Services such as trade-ins, a 30-day play guarantee and on-site club-building make the shop a practical choice for golfers who want expert guidance without the pressure of an up-sell. The tone throughout is professional and welcoming; the team aims to demystify equipment choices and help golfers — whether returning players or those newly curious — enjoy better shots and more consistent rounds.
