ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a golf ball having a core, an outermost cover layer and an intermediate layer therebetween. The core is made of a material obtained by molding under heat a rubber composition containing polybutadiene having a stress relaxation time (T80) of 3.5 or less. The intermediate layer, which is of a specific thickness, is made primarily of a resin material of a specific hardness obtained by blending together (I) a sodium ion neutralization product of an olefin-unsaturated carboxylic acid random copolymer with (II) a magnesium ion neutralization product of an olefin-unsaturated carboxylic acid random copolymer. The outermost cover layer, which is of a specific thickness, is made primarily of a non-ionomeric resin material of a specific hardness. The golf ball has an excellent rebound, a good feel on impact, and an excellent scuff resistance.
