ABSTRACT:
A method of applying a coating material to an outer surface of a golf ball, the method comprising molding a golf ball having an outer dimpled surface under a pressure greater than ambient pressure within a mold cavity; formulating a golf ball coating composition; introducing a sufficient amount of the coating composition into the mold cavity between the golf ball outer surface and an inner surface of the mold cavity to substantially surround and coat the entire outer surface of the golf ball; curing the coating composition upon the ball outer surface and removing the coated ball from the mold cavity.
