Kirkland vs China's $15 Golf Balls: Is the $58 Dozen Dead?

A $15 urethane ball out of China's supply chain vs. a $57.99 Pro V1: what does the $43 gap buy? Costco's Kirkland ball runs about $15 a dozen out of the Asian supply chain, while Titleist's Pro V1 sits at $57.99. We trace who actually owns the factories, why a urethane cover costs millions to tool, the patent fight between Acushnet and Costco, and the Korean factory that made the first Kirkland ball before TaylorMade bought it. Same region is not the same factory, and we show exactly where that line runs. If you want more price-and-supply-chain investigations into the gear you actually buy, subscribe to The Clubroom Files. What did you pay for your last dozen golf balls, and would you switch to a factory-direct ball if it tested just as well?
