K-Sig strikes again ... Gloves

[golfjam]

Found them at my local Costco. Very good quality gloves, much better than Callaway Cabrettas. Bought them because of MGS mention and it delivers.

But an observation: is there a less cool ball marker than the included Costco poker chip?

 

... Imo ALL poker chip ball makers are most definitely not cool.   The whole idea of a ball marker is to be unobtrusive on the green and just mark your ball position. You don't have to go as far as Weiskopf and ridicule a competitor for using a shiny marker but nothing worse than trying to see the line, only to be distracted by a silly, large and distracting poker chip. Not only large in diameter but tall and most definitely a distraction anywhere near another line. I still think non shiny coins of any kind work well and I surely can't be the only one that feels this way ...

LOL... at my old course we had a retired "pro" that was really obnoxious.  He always started a conversation with "The fact of the matter is...", or "You see, it's like this...".  My wife and I were always "lucky" to have him barge into our play.  One day she used one of those glitzy ball markers.  (I think she got it on purpose.)  He got ready to putt and the marker was near his line.  He said, "My retinas are are burning!" and shielded his eyes.  We all laughed and she went and bought a bigger, glitzy ball marker.

I like the form factor of a poker chips in my pocket when walking around the course because they are slim and lightweight. However, they have no place in the green which is why I like the chips with a removable ball marker in the center.

... Nice. I got one like that at the PGA show. From Golf Pride it is a thick metal magnetic disc with rounded edges that feels nice in the pocket and easy to find, and it also has a removable small disc in the center.

I am still using the same Kirkland glove that I mentioned back in May. And I play at least once a week so it is pretty durable.

I seem to recall that John Daly once was penalized for using a hotel room key as a ball marker.

But back on topic, just picked up a 4 pack of the gloves, they feel ok, will be trying them on the course this weekend.

My local Costco had the gloves in July....so picked up a pack. My impression...…….WOW. One of the best gloves I've had and for the money...this is a NO BRAINER! Went back to stock up more while they had them....3 pk for $14.95.

I'm in NE FL and it's been hot.....been rotating between the first 3 gloves (drying during round). All 3 are still in great shape with little to no wear after a dozen rounds and many range sessions.

I'll definitely be interested in seeing people's reviews on these.

I know I'm a bit late to the party but... as an answer to this - I guess it depends if you are golfing with Costco execs and looking for their business...

Love these gloves (except for the fugly logo. They've held up really well and have stayed relatively soft.

Very impressed

You could color in the logo or  cut it out?  They ran big for me.  I wear a medium in titleist and a small in the kirkland.  BUT... This is the best golf glove deal of all time.  $5 for a glove on par with any $23 high-end glove.  I want to compare to Titleist's "players glove" but surely the titleist leather is thinner considering they charge 5X the price...

Also a putter & set of wedges coming out as well.  Uh oh!

After using the K-Sig gloves for 6 months, I’m recommending them to the other 16 guys in our group. This is a really good glove. Comfortable, durable, and a great price.
The Kirkland poker chip marker doesn’t click with me, so I gave it away.
I give the gloves 5 stars.

I purchased a 4-pack of the K-Sig gloves recently and have been impressed with their feel and durability. I usually wear a Cadet XL in my preferred MG Golf Dynagrip Elite, so I was fitted into the K-Sig medium-large (ML). It's a snug fit, at first, but loosens up comfortably in just a few swings.

The oversized poker chip included also makes a nice gift for that annoying player who uses a damn tee for his ball-marker.
