[THE ONE AND ONLY KIRKLAND SIGNATURE BALL THREAD]

I don't understand the rush on these balls. As most of the country is freezing their nuts off, and these will be in stores nationwide in March, I don't see what the urgency for these balls are.

 

Although, in the spirit of full disclosure, I grabbed 2 doz when they were released in my local Costco in October...

[Golfing Today?]

Cool weather golf - cannot wait! I hope it is a bit windy, keeps the fair weather golfer off the course.

 

Perfect for light weight jackets today!

I think the Costco packaging is over the top, and certainly prefer the MG packaging. A ton of waste w KSig balls. I mean, in a two doz box, two 1-doz boxes and 8 sleeves?

 

"C'MON, MAN!!"

Do you think they will drop the Callaway and Titleist lines they have been selling?

 

 

That's the big question.  I think with how quickly the Kirklands have taken off I can see them dropping the others, but only if they can get enough stock to keep their stores supplied.

This. Depends on supply more than anything else.

I have never seen Titleist at Costco, but that does not mean much. I have seen Callaway, and I am pretty sure they will not be renewing that ball.

I would think this new Costco ball and the others to follow will absolutely flatten the used/lake and more importantly refinished

golf ball companies ,,,,, Costco will probably add a good quality 2 piece or 3 piece Surlyn model for 2 dozen at $19.95 next,,,,,,,

 

Why play used ,,,,, they wont even be worth fishing out of the dams,,,, in Australia we have described this type of cheap

retail pricing over the past 8 years by many ball companies as supplying balls at a cost that the recreational players dont

care about losing them any more,,, they buy balls to lose which used to be used ones now its new ones and you will find

more balls today in the rough around a course than ever,,,, players don't even bother to look too hard for a ProV1 if it's 9

or 18 holes old,,, they just reload and get going.

I believe you are correct re: used and lake balls.

I disagree w you re: Costco adding more balls. For them, they are providing a single product at a great price, no need to add any unnecessary competition. Generally, Costco carries one model of what they sell, and not a huge selection of different style of similar product.
