ABOUT:
As such, it has always been our intent to expand our services to include an online fitting component whereby golfoholics (like ourselves) living in one of the thousands of small rural communities (like the ones we grew up in) can benefit from the same bespoke, high-touch, personalized fitting experience that our local clients receive when they’re with us in one of our fitting bays!
We recognize that absent the incurrence of significant travel expenses, these rural golfoholics have limited options when it comes to purchasing golf clubs. Absent a local fitting option, this golfing population’s options are limited to selecting from an OEMs* “stock” offerings, often equipped only with that OEM’s marketing materials making promises about how their new driver will help you hit the ball farther, straighter, & more consistent… for just the low low price of $600 (plus taxes & shipping). Well, here’s a dirty little secret of the golf industry: golf’s governing bodies place extremely tight governors on OEMs ability to increase the performance of any given club year to year. This is why you’ll hear reputable independent 3rd parties proclaiming that club technology should be viewed through the lens of evolution rather than revolution, and that it takes 3-5 years before club technology improves enough for the average golfer to even notice. So… the obvious next questions are 1.) why are we telling you this and 2.) in-light of this, how is our business thriving? Both are fair questions, but the answers are fairly simple. In response to question #1: honesty & integrity have always been & will always be cornerstones of our business. In response to question #2, the restrictions placed on club OEMs do not take into account the full potential of clubs being properly fit to a given golfer, and that is the simple secret!
This is why we’ve launched our online fitting service focused on shaft retrofitting. Modern drivers, fairway woods, and hybrids utilize adjustable hosel adapters that enable a golfer to easily swap shafts in these clubs, thereby altering, oftentimes dramatically, the performance of that given club thanks to the fit. Purchasing new golf clubs is a significant investment. The goal of our online shaft retrofitting service is to help golfers optimize the performance of their existing clubs, thereby extending their clubs’ useful life, and saving golfers money over a multi-year horizon.
Our team is passionate about helping golfers improve their golfing experience through better fit equipment and we can’t wait to help you!

Garage Golf MN was founded in 2019 by a couple of golf enthusiasts turned Master Club Fitters & Builders, you guessed it, out of one of garages! And what better time to start a new business than right before the onset of a global pandemic? But thanks to the support of our loyal base of local Minnesota clients and aided by unprecedented growth in golf participation, our business has flourished. However, we hail from humble, rural, outstate communities where the nearest golf performance and fitting center was hundreds of miles from our respective hometowns.
