Acushnet Co., the maker of Titleist golf balls, will reduce its workforce at its distribution center and two ball plants by 77 positions, company officials told the Standard Times of New Bedford.


The reductions will take place at plants located in North Dartmouth and New Bedford, CT, respectively, and at its Fairhaven distribution center. The layoffs are expected to take place over the next month.


Mary Lou Bohn, Acushnet's spokeswoman, said it is normal for Titleist to make occasional, temporary adjustments to the size of its work force in response based on demand.  “We anticipate this reduction being a short-term adjustment to production levels,” she said
