Golf ball

A golf ball having a core and a cover for covering the core, wherein a base resin of said cover comprises a mixture of the following resin (1), resin (2) and resin (3) as a main component, the total amount of the resin (1) and resin (2) being 85 to 98% by weight of the mixture;

• the amount of the resin (3) being 2 to 15% by weight of the mixture;
• the amount of the resin (1) being 35 to 96.5% by weight and the amount of the resin (2) being 3.5 to 65% by weight of the total of resin (1) and resin (2);
• and a stiffness of the cover composition being 1,000 to 2,000 kg/cm.sup.2, wherein resins (1), (2) and (3) are as follows:
• resin (1):
• an ionomer resin having a stiffness of 700 to 1,200 kg/cm.sup.2, which is obtained by neutralizing a terpolymer of ethylene, methacrylic acid and acrylate with zinc ion;
• resin (2):
• an ionomer resin having a stiffness of 2,500 to 5,000 kg/cm.sup.2, which is obtained by neutralizing a copolymer of ethylene and methacrylic or acrylic acid with zinc ion;
• and
• resin (3):
• an ionomer resin having a stiffness of 2,300 to 5,000 kg/cm.sup.2, which is obtained by neutralizing a copolymer of ethylene and methacrylic or acrylic acid with an alkali metal ion.
