I doubt if it's anything so esoteric as 'greedy'.  Simply put, they have a business model that they consider works for them and they stick to it.  I'd likely attribute this to a good focus on long term viability over short term gains rather than anything subjectively or socially arbitrary as a particular definition of greed.

AFAIK, it does work, at least every Costco I've been to has been packed.

Yeah, I think they'll stick with the low margin, high volume model.  It's worked for them for a long time.

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

The charge a membership fee and have a large membership which gives them an advantage over most of their competition.  In order to maintain that membership they must continue to offer quality products at prices that encourage people to renew  their membership and attract new members.

So pull me in to the store for a box of golf balls and I leave with a 65 inch curv TV and a container of Mango Peach Salsa

Just noticed that once they are available again,  you can now only buy 2 per membership instead of 5.  And I'm also wondering if you'll be able to buy them if you're not a member?

Due to overwhelming demand, our available inventory has been depleted far faster than our expectations. We are working diligently to get additional inventory as soon as possible. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Limit 2 Per Membership

I understand Kirkland golf balls will be back in-club in May 2017

Is this nationally? Or just select stores? It would be really nice if they would be on the shelf at my local Costco :)

I've heard nationally.  They are selling out their inventory of Callaway Hex Softs.

It will be nationally.  They may also continue to offer Callaway Hex Softs as they normally offer a national brand and a Kirkland brand on most major categories they sell.  It will also come back on-line sooner, but will again be sold out in 1 day

That will change once the hoarding stops.  I'm also not sure if it's 2 per membership total or 2 per membership per order.

Still, 4 dozen is usually more than enough if you are stocking up.  How  many people truly need a pallet of balls?

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Got told off yesterday for doing full swings and full speed swings so went to the range this lunchtime and did some slow speed stuff and freezers. A few videos from my session.    First few are DTL then some FO This one is of me looking at the club on the way back. I think I get my arms lifting all the way back, not that you’d know because YouTube keeps glitching on me.    Second one is two slow backswings. This glitches the first one but the glitch looks like a pretty good position so I’ll live. Second one works. Then another swing back and hit. When I’m not watching or really focusing on it it seems that my upper arm doesn’t lift at first, rather stays roughly where it is and I add the lift at the end so the club comes a bit more inside. I think that’s what I’m going to focus on. This one glitches a bit too but it’s really just pausing. This shows the club coming a bit more inside but not as laid off at the top Then a couple of face on ones And lastly one smoothie and one freezer at normal speed  Quite happy with how this went. I can see my arms are better when I take it slower. Also while I’m still pitching my arms out it doesn’t seem to be as extreme as yesterday. Light at the end of the tunnel 🙂
