Those Kirkland AA and AAA batteries you see at Costco at great prices are actually made by Duracell. The Kirkland golf balls are (or at least were) made by Callaway (Costco has a long relationship with Callaway). In fact, roughly 90% of premium golf balls are made in the USA...in 3 states (Massachusetts, Georgia and South Carolina).
Good clarification. Just an aside I thought was interesting - Titlist Pro 1V balls are made here in the US. If you want to save a little and go for "last years" Pro1V, they are made in overseas.
