That's very arbitrary.  Aren't you going to allocate any of their costs against the membership fees?  You couldn't have membership fees unless you have a Costco and all the associated costs.  You need to look at it as a percentage of gross profit not pretax income.  (I am an accountant, a CPA)

Still not the topic guys.

Exactly my thoughts, all of it... I've got some new ProV1's, I've got a bunch of new Bridgestone E6's, I've got some other new balls, I've got a 5 gallon bucket full of balls I've found, etc.  Th

We moved our Thursday play date up due to approaching weather. 

We both played 18holes, with the Kirkland ball,  in the wind, and our opinions are unchanged. Our results were the same as yesterday's play.

 That Kirkland ball is a decent ball. It's an individual choice as to play it or not. Again, remember. This is the opinion of a couple of older dudes who are distance challenged. .....lol

BTW, we shot 84, and 81 respectively. My partner had to buy the grub, and beverages this time. :beer:

I hit the Kirkland further than the ProV1x.  By 5-10 yards.  It's the best ball for playing late in the year when you don't want to lose a Pro V1 in the leaves.

Good for you. Be glad you have a better swing than we do. :beer: It's a great ball, even at double the price.

He swears their scotch and vodka is better than the brands I named, so I guess he knows his booze.  

The Kirkland vodka is actually distilled and bottled at Grey Goose.

Here's the data:

 

Here is some comparison data. The balls according the USGA Conforming list are made by Nassau Golf Co

Kirkland Signature with Signature in red white 4P-SC-3c M-H 360 KOR Nassau Golf Co., Ltd.  Tour Performance

SM Global is the listed manufacturer of ksig but I keep seeing people refer to Nassau Golf. Any idea why?

SM Global is the import / export company Costco is using, they are the same company that they used to purchase the balls from Callaway which is leading to speculation that their is some relationship between Nassau, SM Global and Callaway.  The balls are still being made by Nassau Golf.

Costco today - No Kirkland's in the house.

But - Callaway HEx Softs were $25 for TWO dozen 

http://troymcfarland.blogspot.com/2015/05/are-costco-exclusive-callaway-balls.html

I don't think they sell them in any stores. I think it's an online only product. I could be wrong.

 

Of note, these are back in stock. Right on time for their anticipated 11/21 restock :) Got myself another 4 dozen. Hopefully that will last me quite a while.

I bought 2 dozen again.   This time they charged sales tax and shipping.   2 dozen cost $36.55 w/o a Costco membership.

Yea I noticed that too. I was a little peeved but still bought them anyways because I do like them and the price is still fine. But if they're going to creep the price like this I will eventually not buy them and will just go back to buying used balls. But I guess they aren't really creeping the price... just shipping and tax. So hopefully it stops there.

I was able to jump on early and grab 4 doz, but they are already sold out again. Wish I would have bought a ton and sold them on eBay.

Hm. Looks like the ball isn't even showing on their site anymore, rather than just saying "out of stock."

So strange.

      @boogielicious and I are definitely in for the Stay & Play and will need the extra night's stay on Friday. I don't know what the plans are for our group on Friday but even if we don't make it for dinner with the rest of the Friday arrivals, I'll be more than happy to meet up somewhere for a beer or something.

      Strategy on Neshanic Valley Ridge #2

      By p1n9183 ·

      Taking your dispersion and distance in consideration I analyzed the 4 posible ways to play the hole, or at least the ones that were listed here. I took the brown grass on the left as fescue were you need to punch out sideways to the fairway and rigth of the car path to be fescue too.  Driver "going for the green"  You have to aim more rigth, to the bunker in order to center your shotzone in between the fescue.  Wood of 240 over the bunkers I already like this one more for you. More room to land between the fescue. Balls in the fescue 11% down from 30% with driver. Improve of score from 4.55 to 4.40. 4 iron 210 yards besides the bunkers.    Also a wide area and your shot zone is better than previous ones. This makes almost the fescue dissapear. You really need to hit a bad one (sometimes shit happens). Because of that and only having 120 yards in this is the best choice so far. Down to 4.32 from 4.40. Finally the 6 Iron 180 yards to avoid all trouble.    Wide area an narrow dispersion for almost been in the fairway all the time. Similar than the previous one but 25 yards farther for the hole to avoid been in the bunkers. Average remains the same, 4.33 to 4.32.  Conclusion is easy. Either your 4iron or 6 iron of the tee are equaly good for you. Glad that you made par!

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      Wish I could have spent 5 minutes in the middle of the morning round to hit some balls at the range. Just did much more of right side through with keeping the shoulders feeling level (not dipping), and I was flushing them. Lol. Maybe too much focus on hands stuff while playing.

      Strategy on Neshanic Valley Ridge #2

      By p1n9183 ·

      Last year I made an excel that can easily measure with my own SG data the average score for each club of the tee. Even the difference in score if you aim more left or right with the same club. I like it because it can be tweaked to account for different kind of rough, trees, hazards, greens etc.     As an example, On Par 5's that you have fescue on both sides were you can count them as a water hazard (penalty or punch out sideways), unless 3 wood or hybrid lands in a wider area between the fescue you should always hit driver. With a shorter club you are going to hit a couple less balls in the fescue than driver but you are not going to offset the fact that 100% of the shots are going to be played 30 or more yards longer. Here is a 560 par 5. Driver distance 280 yards total, 3 wood 250, hybrid 220. Distance between fescue is 30 yards (pretty tight). Dispersion for Driver is 62 yards. 56 for 3 wood and 49 for hybrid. Aiming of course at the middle of the fairway (20 yards wide) with driver you are going to hit 34% of balls on the fescue (17% left/17% right). 48% to the fairway and the rest to the rough.  The average score is going to be around 5.14. Looking at the result with 3 wood and hybrid you are going to hit less balls in the fescue but because of having longer 2nd shots you are going to score slightly worst. 5.17 and 5.25 respectively.    Things changes when the fescue is taller and you are probably going to loose the ball so changing the penalty of hitting there playing a 3 wood or hybrid gives a better score in the hole.  Off course 30 yards between penalty hazards is way to small. You normally have 60 or more, in that cases the score is going to be more close to 5 and been the Driver the weapon of choice.  The point is to see that no matter how tight the hole is, depending on the hole sometimes Driver is the play and sometimes 6 irons is the play. Is easy to see that on easy holes, but holes like this:  you need to crunch the numbers to find the best strategy.
