A golf ball comprising:
- a core;
- and
- a layer disposed concentrically about the core;
- wherein at least one of the core or the layer is formed of a polymer composition comprising a lipid-based nanotubule-encapsulated healing agent present in an amount between about 0.1% and about 20.0% of the composition by weight.

A golf ball comprising:
- a core;
- an intermediate layer disposed about the core;
- a cover disposed adjacent to the intermediate layer;
- and
- a coating layer disposed adjacent to the cover;
- wherein the cover is comprised of lipid-based nanotubule-encapsulated healing agent for controlled release of the healing agent into at least one of the adjacent intermediate or coating layers.
