According to our friends at MyGolfSpy, the guru's of breaking any golf product related news the incredibly popular Costco Kirkland Signature ball is done!!! RIP Kirkland Signature!
The Kirkland ball that was being sold for $15usd per dozen absolutely flew of the shelves. In a $1.5 billion dollar golf ball industry the Costco ball made all the other manufacturers stand top a notice. They will say they weren't nervous about the impact the Kirkland ball would have, but deep down the industry was nervous.

Reports from MyGolfSpy say their source inside Costco has not responded to their calls, however, a source familiar with the situation has told us that Coscto has suspended production of the Kirkland Signature until further notice. Whether you want to call it a shortage or a total outage, the lack of Kirkland golf balls available to the consumer is being blamed on supply chain issues.
MyGolfSpy were told that, internally, Coscto is saying that production will resume at a later date (and that an email will be sent to customers when stock is available), but MySpyGolf have good reason to believe that is an unlikely scenario.

The Kirkland ball was made by world renowned golf ball manufacture Nassau Quattro, reports from MyGolfSpy say that Costco (not directly) purchased overruns of Nassau's European-market-exclusive Quattro ball. With Costco selling its version of the Quattro at its cost ($15/dozen), it appears that Nassau is not particularly interested in selling Costco any additional inventory. As you can imagine, there's little interest in allowing Costco to undercut the Quattro with the Quattro, nor is there any desire to see the ball market undercut.
So there it is!!! Kirkland Signature ball, the high quality but cheap ball will properly not been seen again. MyGolfSpy is still investigating the final outcome, but I don't like the chances of this cheap, superior ball hitting the Costco shelves again.
