Kirkland Signature (Costco) golf balls (MERGED) (NO BST POSTS)

Yes, they move things around but I've spoken to people in the store who told me not only were they out of stock and they had none coming, but the ball had been "deleted from the system" which isn't unusual but when the item returns it is "different in some way".  I'm starting to think we way be on the precipice of the 4 piece.  I'm just surprised it looks like they may be phasing out the 3 piece rather than keeping both.

Luckily I have my 6 dozen to keep me going.  I played it again yesterday for half a round.  I really like hitting these balls. They feel great off the clubhead and they fly.

Is the cover supposed to look like this? lol

On Sunday I was into the 4th or 5th hole of playing a new 2019 TP5x and the cover had a cut in it that made the urethane cover have a small flap.  May have hit a rock on the approach by a bunker, who knows.  Even the "expensive" balls covers cut.  If that's a new ball it's not supposed to look like that.  Bring back to Costco with rest of box and they will replace it.

Yep brand new out of the box, no big deal they aren't all like that, just caught me off guard. I like the ball, great wedge spin for a cheaper ball.

they have a weird philosophy that the store should be a treasure hunt… I’m not sure I agree with it.

 

I assume they moved the stuff to the front they are trying to sell faster, but who knows?

Probably the best month of your life?

If the 4pc is as good as the original, then I don't mind them phasing out the 3.2. I've got enough balls right now that if I see the 4pc I'll probably buy 2 boxes but keep them unopened while I wait for some feedback from the reviewers / youtubers on how it compares, knowing I can return it if I don't like the results. 

 

If they're not good and the K3.2 is gone, I would probably have to look at Snell. Looks like they test out really well.

I spend so much time there, I had the manager come up to me this week and ask me if I completed the updated employee training yet...

 

I spend enough money there that I thought "I should get the exec membership; as long as it pays the $60 difference between standard membership and exec, it's worth it."

 

Then I started getting the checks, and divided it by 0.02 to realize how much I'm spending annually at Costco, and it scared the hell out of me lol!

Even if you don't hit the magic spend number to make up the difference in cost between the Executive and Gold Memberships every year, there's still a lot of extra benefits to be had outside of access to VERY affordable quality golf balls and equipment...Some years are better than others depending on what you buy, but in the long run, you'll net out positive...

you don't have to return a full box to get a refund, try a few, and if you don't like them, they'll give you a full refund

No K3.2 at my local, but they had a pallet of Callaway Hex Tour... 48 for 29.99.

True story... A few years back I was in Target wearing a burgundy polo and Khaki pants. A manager came over and snappily asked "Where's your name-tag?"

My Costco opened a fresh pallet of Callaway Hex Tour double dozen for $29.99 in SoCal. They also had 3.2 readily available and about 2 pallets over from the Hex Tour. I don’t recall the name of the previously offered Callaway model in the blue box but, this might paint the picture that the new ball is not terribly close.

Worth mentioning, today there's a new 4pc listed with OG K-Sig Tour Performance name brand, it includes a minus in the side marking. Both of the Tour Performance balls currently listed have different side markings than the 4pc OG K-Sig. The OG K-Sig 4pc was just marked Tour Performance and did not include a dot or minus.
