  • NEW! Kirkland Signature Four-Piece Urethane Cover - Buy Now!

Finally got a round in with the KSig. Yep....pretty much what everyone says. Just as long as my regular Pro V1s with my driver. A bit less spin with irons, which is actually better for me. A little softer feel for me as well.

The most impressive thing was the condition of the ball after 18 holes, it looked like it was just out of the box. I can't recall any ball, except maybe the Srixon Z Stars, that looked that good after a round.

Stopped at Costco on the way home and bought another box.

Funny thing during the round. I've been playing 43 years, 40 as a single digit, and I have only holed out one shot over 100 yards. However, today on #1 and #6 I hit 9 irons that ended up 3"-4" from the hole. It looked like the shot on #1 may have 180* around the hole too. That would have been a good story to hole out on hole #1 with the new ball. Been a long time since I have hit anything that close, to have it happen twice in 6 holes was wacky.

Well I previously posted that I got 4 boxes (8 dozen), but then at the last minute I changed the order 5 to get 1 box for a friend...but my order just showed up and I have 9 boxes (18 dozen, 216 balls)! I guess when I added 4 to my cart from my home PC, and then 5 from my PC at work where I then logged in and checked out, apparently the two carts merged together to make 9 boxes and I didn't notice it during checkout. Well 1 box is for a freind, so I guess I have "just" 192 balls. LOL. Looks like I'll be playing these babies for several years! I sure hope they're as good as everyone says. I guess if not, I can just take them all back to my local Costco.

Unfortunately I have to wait until an elbow injury heals up to get out and try them.

Although today was not a perfect day for golf, looking at the forecast I had went out for an 18.

After a couple of days with over 1" of rain each day, this morning was sub 50°F patchy fog in places and I had no clue what the condition of the golf course would be.
First tee, I found the tee shot in the middle of the fairway but shorter than last time I played there. The ball came off the driver's face nice. I want to say it felt like the first generation of the Penta I remembered. Fairway was soggy. When I address for my second shot, I could see water seeping out of the ground around my golf shoes, actually hit a decent second shot, A par 5 the first hole and the 3rd shot was stopped quicker than usual, Not sure if that's all golf ball because there was water in the bottom of the cup. Plus they must have applied something on the golf course with blue dye. Around the green side and on the putting surface the golf ball picked up the blue dye which colored my fingers blue..... playing partner jokingly said, don't lick the fingers, The application felt sticky.
Lost the tee ball on the second hole inside the fairway on the right side which was wet. I tried to search for the Kirkland Signature which had only seen one hole of play .... to no avail . Switched to a colored soft golf ball from where I lost the tee shot and it was also playing short. Low temperature and heavy air with soggy turf made the golf course play like 30% longer.
Switched back to the Kirkland Signature on the 3rd hole, a par 3 of 135 yards over a ravine and slightly up hill.
Pin was in the back so I hit a good 8 iron up to the pin, the golf ball stopped within a foot of the pitch mark, made birdie....... played the rest with the same golf ball, Almost lost it several times, which I had to dig it out of the buried lie in the fairway.
Off the mud and sandy turf and a couple of graveled cart path. It held up pretty good. Although the playing condition did not allow me to fully evaluate the new golf ball. I believe I would play this golf ball if the price line does not move up. Super value for what this golf ball gives.

The only complain which is the color of the cover was not bright white like other brands. Not sure if this was the result from the urethane cover or not. It is darker than other golf balls with the urethane cover. I was lucky I did not lose the second ball in play from buried in the turf and all those colorful fallen leaves from more than a thousand trees on the golf course.

Here are a couple pic. of this golf ball which went through 16 holes and sandy turf plus a couple of cart path.

Yes, I was told it also has a mixture of other chemicals, like fungicide........ At least it was not chicken manure mixture they had tried several years ago, it was foul .

I came home with orange shoes a couple rounds back. And I don't even closely resemble Ricky!!

Anyone know what the Costco non-member price is online or if available to non-members?

    Thanks. Interested out of curiosity, then I see the web site sold out. Figures.

      Just ordered 4 more boxes,a really good ball IMO.
      No more free shipping though and NOT available in our local Costco! 🙁

        I wonder if they will allow pick up from local Costco at no additional shipping charge ?

        If the Costco did this as all their trial run on new products, there should be limited quantity on the trial deal.
        Then they'll have to re-negotiate to long term supply.

        The only complain I have is the dull white color on the cover, it's not bright white as other OEM brands.

          Release

          Hopefully they'll be in stores before too long.
          As far as color,just compared one to a brand a new pro-v and saw no difference in whiteness/brightness.

          Release

          I couldn't see a difference in the color.

          I actually struggled to lose these things. Out of sheer luck even the ones I hit deep in the woods were easy to find.

            garyt1957 that's what the chart says🙂 and compared to the other balls with similar compression in that chart I'd say is accurate as I've played them all and they all feel similar IMO.

              Yea, didn't really mean to address that to you, just surprised anything is over 100 anymore!

                I compared K.S. with a Bridgestone and a Nike in the natural light and the K.S. is not as glistening white .

                If you come play in our area after the record October rainfall, you will lose any golf ball "in the fairway at soft spots " scatered throughout the golf course.
                I lost one in the buried lie the first round out with the K.S. That's why I always play a less expensive golf ball in the Winter. Lost one K.S. but dig out a brand new Pro V1 X in the fairway on the next hole.

                garyt1957 interesting to me that the longest balls I've played in that category are all right around 110, the tpx, xv, and b330.

                  based upon the USGA Conforming Golf Ball List you can find at USGA List...

                  These are all new balls from their sleeves. No flash light just natural light.
                  There is a light hue of some kind ( maybe Pink ? ) with the K.S.
