Three-layer cover for a golf ball including a thin dense layer

A golf ball comprising a non-wound core and a cover, wherein the cover comprises:

• an inner cover layer being disposed directly adjacent the core;
• an outer cover layer having a thickness less than about 0.050 inches;
• and
• an intermediate cover layer is disposed between the inner and outer cover layers;
• wherein at least one of the inner, intermediate, or outer cover layers is a dense layer having an inner diameter of at least 38.4 mm (1.51 inches), a specific gravity greater than about 1.2 and a thickness between about 0.025 mm (0.0001 inches) and about 1.27 mm (0.05 inches);
• and
• wherein the core has a specific gravity of less than the specific gravity of the dense layer, a diameter between about 35 mm and about 42 mm, and a compression of less than about 90.
