Why Michigan courses choose Second Shot
Built for Great Lakes golf — not a national call center.
Michigan courses know ponds and water hazards are part of the game. Balls settle. Inventory sits. Second Shot™ is a local partner focused on recovering that inventory cleanly, with a schedule that respects member play and tournament weeks.
Shore-based, not submerged
Aqua Queen–style recovery from the bank. No diving crews in your water features, no chemical treatments, no draining ponds.
Planned around play
We coordinate around your tee sheet and events so recovery doesn’t fight the membership. Minimal disruption is the default.
Value returned
Recovered balls are sorted and graded. You get clear reporting and options that put recoverable value back into the course operation.
How it works
From assessment to report — four clear steps.
-
01
Assessment
Tell us about your ponds, hazards, and preferred windows. We review access, volume expectations, and schedule options.
-
02
Site visit & plan
We walk the property (or coordinate remotely first), confirm equipment access from shore, and lock a recovery window around your tee sheet.
-
03
Recovery day
Shore-based Aqua Queen–style equipment works the water hazards. Crew stays professional, quiet, and out of the way of play where possible.
-
04
Sort, grade & report
Balls are sorted and graded. You receive a clear report of what was recovered and how value can return to the course.
Sorting & grading
Recovered inventory you can actually use.
Balls come out of the water, then into a clear grading workflow — so your course sees quality tiers, not a mixed pile. Reporting follows so recoverable value can return to the operation.
See what you getMethod & equipment
Shore-based recovery. Pond stays a pond.
Second Shot uses Aqua Queen–style shore-based recovery equipment designed for golf course water hazards. That means we work from the bank — not by sending divers into the water, treating ponds with chemicals, or draining features for a cleanup.
- No divers — shore-based approach only
- No chemicals — nothing added to your water
- No draining — ponds stay filled and playable
- Insured — certificate of insurance available on request

What you get
Recovery isn’t the finish line — reporting is.
Courses don’t just want balls out of the water. They want accountability: counts, grades, and a path for recovered inventory to benefit the facility.
Sorted inventory
Recovered balls are sorted so usable product is separated from scrap — not dumped in a mixed pile.
Grading
Grading helps you understand quality tiers and make informed decisions about range use, resale, or other course programs.
Clear reporting
You receive a straightforward recovery report: what came out, how it graded, and how value can return to the course.
Value returned
Our model is built around returning recoverable value to the golf course — not treating your ponds as a one-way extract.
Trust & professionalism
Straight talk. Real commitments.
Insured
Second Shot Golf carries insurance appropriate for on-course work. A certificate of insurance is available on request for your files.
