I was playing golf last week with a packet of fantastically wealthy pricks and they were going gaga over some Kirkland wine. Poor bastards.

Are they sown by the cousins of the children that make Imperial hats?

Better yet, you should have bought Costco stock a few years ago, From $6 in 1994 to $300 now.


Now back on topic, has anyone here bought or used the Kirkland putter?

No, but I did, almost, get in to Costco Law School. My LSAT was 131 and I needed a 132. Dammit!!

Kirkland Signature KS1 Putter Verdict     
Kirkland caused a bit of a storm when launching the Signature balls, and the same look set to run with the KS1 putter. They have come up with an impressive looking putter at a very cheap price for the kind of milling and adjustability offered by the sole weights. It’s very much like the Scotty Cameron Newport putters and it will be of a particular interest for golfers who are priced out of the more expensive Scotty putters. The problem will be getting your hands on a KS1.

I am not, but to pick up on yesterday's OT brown liquor thread, Kirkland 22-year Speyside Single Malt currently on offer is a steal.


I was just at Costco and saw that...stuff is good, huh?


I bought a bottle a couple of months ago and liked it enough to pick up another bottle last week.  $79.99 for a 22-year old sherry cask finished Speyside single malt here in NJ. Bottled at 46%. No idea on who the distiller is, but it comes from Alexander Murray who is one of the top independent bottlers.

Their Anejo tequila is delicious.  And at $20/L, I can drink a lot of it.

While Amazon eats the world I find it easy to root for Costco -- good jobs/benefits for alot of people. Just got my order of gloves.

Amen to that Buck.  To all the naysayers who say you can't offer super competitive pricing and pay/take care of your people, Costco is the model for how it can be done.  You just need an ownership model not dripping in insatiable greed.

+1 on the gloves. I would bet they are the same as the Titleist Cabretta glove, likely made in the same factory. I just bought 4 delivered to my door for something like $21.


I live in NC, so no liquor at Costco here, but it's well-known their vodka is Grey Goose in a Kirkland bottle. I once met their spirits buyer who confirmed this to me.
