And here, I thought that we were talking about Costco's foray into golf balls....

Agree....hot dog/soda=great deal!

And, the wife tried the brisket sandwich....said she would definitely go back for more.

When I go to pick up my new Costco golf balls, gonna treat here again!

That brisket sandwich is serious.

A brisket sandwich at Costco? What new devilry is this?

I hope the one near me starts offering it, but I doubt it.
I used to love their clam chowder (white), then they changed it to a tomato-based one (is that East coast style?), then brought back the creamy style but with a different recipe without bacon. It was nowhere near as good. Now they offer some sort of potato-and-chilli bowl.

New England clam chowder is white
Manhattan Clam chowder is the tomato based one.

I'm looking forward to seeing this new ball. I love costco stuff.

No Kirkland balls at the Memphis Costco late last week.

[theedge27]

Guys, OP says they won't be in stores until October.

[Swoff57]

theedge27 is right they are not suppose to be out until OCT.  But I am looking forward to it. I wonder what this is going to to do to the budget golf ball market. The benefit is with number of balls I buy, I should get enough back to buy a bunch of lesson with my costco check.

[MBBG]

Probably a good ball but "Kirkland Signature" sounds more like a name for bacon

Nothing.  The average person doesn't have a Costco membership and won't even know that they exist.  I've got a buddy with a membership. I may see if he's willing to split a box when they come out.  

I bought my last motorcycle through Costco's vehicle purchase program. I got a hell of a deal and Costco gave me a $250 gift card.  That was awesome. I've been toying with getting a membership there again.  Supposedly their store brand dog food is really good and affordably priced. We (me and the GF) were talking about getting a membership just to get that stuff at one point.

I wonder if it is a rebrand of the new Volvik urethane cover low compression ball.

Yep, Kirkland brand dog food is highly recommended by a lot of Vets. All of our local dog adoption agencies use it. I stopped buying it just because Costco was so far out of the way but I should really start the dogs on it again, the value is great.

And October seems like a goofy time to release a golf ball in the states...won't be much golfing weather available by that point.

I was thinking dishwasher.

[RSinSG]

OK, I'm older and I am firmly a part of the Costco generation. Executive Membership annual check pays for the cost of membership with cash to spare.

I always check there first before purchasing just about anything including cell phone plans and a new car that we bought through their program.

I used to get Titleist balls there when they had them, but now all I get golf-wise are gloves. I'm anxious to try the Kirkland version.

And, how can you beat a Polish dog and refillable soda for $1.50?

I'll add my +1000 on the dog food. It's legit. Only dog food my dog will eat without a fight!

We've been good, but we can't last.  Hurry Costco, hurry fast!

[Trane5]

No kidding, I'm so pumped to try these balls! Hurry up Costco!

[snaphooker]

found one today in Canada of all places
unfortunately it was on my last hole so I didn't play it yet
looks to be urethane and looks to have a seem where the two sides meet like the pro v1's used to have
I would upload pictures but can't figure it out how
Looks and feels to be very high end in quality

[Alktrio06]

Not true unless you have a post a picture!

someone posted this on another site:

Kirkland Signature with Signature in red
£ Tour Performance ¢
colour: white
construction: 4P-SC-3c
spin rating: M-H
dimples: 360
country: KOR
manufacturer: Nassau Golf Co., Ltd.

[ExProGoingBack]

Is that Nassau golf co in Freeport NY?

[larciel]

Hmm, Nassau was a big sports equip company back in 90s. I didn't know they were still around.

Should be either one of two

It's all about price point. If they are dirt cheap i'll still be interested. People love VICE golf balls even though they are just rebranded balls that are sold under 10 different names.

I'd say 24 urethane balls for $30 is about as cheap as it could ever get.

don't think so. The Kirkland ball has 360 dimples, those have 332.

[mokedaddy]

lol

Edited by mokedaddy, 26 September 2016 - 04:05 PM.

[J_Birdie]

I'd venture to say maybe that company is just the plant they're made but it could be a Kirkland only design?

[The Chicken Connoisseur]

So based on this info for you ball experts, is this more of a standard tour ball, or closer to an "X" variety?

[J_Birdie]

I would say this is gonna be a soft low compression ball, not a V1X or TPX variety since that would appeal to more people
