We have to drive 1.25 hours to get to COSTCO here in FLA. In VA, we have COSTCO and BJ'S 10 minutes away. We shop both a lot, but I prefer the quantity and sizes at BJ'S better.

      A Wholesale Club like COSTCO and Sam's. Their brand is Berkley Jensen.

            This whole thing has been interesting to watch unfold a little and what it does to the selling price of these balls on eBay. A couple of weeks ago, these things were selling for $50+ a dozen. This week, it looks like they are sell in the $30's.

              I just threw up, golfballsdirect (used ball supplier I've ordered from), has these in 5a (their mint)......wait for it, wait, hold......

              27.88 per.dzn.....Think that's the highest price for a dzn on the site or tied for it.

                What ?
                Already has it in used ?

                I figured cost is $15, on sale for $27.88, what a deal. Buyer might just get it "new". This is where the stash went.

                    Release yep....I get a weekly email from them and there is always a sale, this time the ksig was in the email.....Hard to believe there would be enough lost on course and then found to be for sale....Very odd IMO...Does not add up....Unless they indeed got a stockpile of them new.

                      Goes to prove they are no better than any other ball. They do not float and, obviously, cannot find the fairways.

                      I rest my case.

                      Or....

                      Goes to prove they are just as good as the most expensive brand. They do not float and, obviously, they cannot find the fairways.

                      I rest my case.

                        KSig may be gone but at my local Costco, north of Pittsburgh, they have a 24 pack of Callaway Chrome Hot 55 for $29.95. Something made for Costco??? Didn't find any of that name on the Callaway website - closest was a Chrome Soft 58 as a special edition ball...

                          OEM have to modify their product when branded to Kirkland Signature .

                          The Kirkland Signature should be at the minimum , comparable to the name branded product and in most cases are a little better than the name branded products. I suspect the Chrome Hot 55 is very similar to the Chrome soft 58.

                          The Kirkland Signature stirred up so much wave, not because it's a superior golf ball than the rest but because they could be compatible in the premium golf ball class and selling below the second teared pricing. once the edge of the low price line is gone so would the magic.

                          Can't figure out buyers mentality. In the 15 years I worked my custom build shop the one obstacle I couldn't overcome was brand nameitus. No matter how top shelf the head and shaft I used, most of my customers, even friends and family, still wanted the big name OEM. Now these same people will play a ball named Kirkland? I don't get it and I'm glad I'm retired.
