ABSTRACT:
A golf ball constructed of a molded outer cover defining an outer diameter of the golf ball to be between 2 and 2.2 inches. One or more inner materials within the golf ball is of a sufficient density to allow the golf ball to float in water. The golf ball may comprise an inner core of a light weight material of sufficient density to allow the golf ball to float. The inner core may include a cork material. An elastic material such as elastic windings may be wrapped around the inner core. The golf ball will have the characteristics and feel of a conventional golf ball while being able to float. The increased size of the golf ball will give the beginning golfer an easier target to strike with the club face thereby improving his or her confidence in ball striking ability. The increased size will also increase the wind resistance and thereby overemphasizing balls hit with improper spin, resulting in quicker learning time. Better golfers can use this feature to practice and perfect cut and draw shots. The golf ball may used during actual rounds of golf or in training on the driving range.
