Looks like 2nd swing is out of business and having liquidation sales. May want to see if they have any good deals.

i checked mine, and honestly the liquidation sale was still bad prices for anything thats mainstream. Almost seems like i could get somethin new from a warehouse site cheaper than a used one from 2nd swing.

I'm terrible, but i have fun.

You know the business was a lost cause when none of the other chains were interested in aquiring some of their assests, including land buildings . The golf liqidators on E-Bay are probably paying very close attention.

Its too bad to see them go out of business. We have three in the Twin Cities (plus their HQ) and the stores NEVER were busy when I went (about every other week). They took on way too much inventory and their pricing was too high. My wife will be happy they are no longer around.

I was a regular customer in the Harrisburg store (they knew me by first name). Their trade-in prices were ALWAYS great - about 25% more than other pro shops / golf stores, etc. Always wondered how they could offer so much. Now I know why they're going out of business.

I stopped by Sunday to speak with the sales person. Yes, the prices are still kind of high - the discount is only 20%. I was told that this initial discount will last 4-6 weeks, and then the next markdown is 30-50% off. If there's not anything you need immediately, it might make sense to wait for the 2nd markdown.

Well, I visited two in the Twin Cities today and came away less then impressed for a company on "liquidation". 30-50% off (30% on clubs) and it was really hit and miss depending on what you wanted. Used clubs were marked up to retail in some cases and then discounted 30%. For example, a Scott Cameron Circa '62 #3 that looked like it was fished out of a pond based on the rust (perfect for a SC restoration job) was priced at $249. Overheard employees talking of 40-50% off coming up. Still had quite a bit of inventory remaining. Only thing really tempting was a Mitchell lie/loft machine (already sold )
