Golf ball

A golf ball comprising a core and a cover covering the core, wherein the cover contains a nonionic polyurethane having a hard segment content of from 24.5% to 34.7% by mass as a resin component, and the nonionic polyurethane contains an aromatic diol represented by the following formula (1) as a chain extender component

• and
• wherein m and n independently denote an integer of 2 to 4,
• a polycarbonate polyol as a polyol component,
• wherein the polycarbonate polyol has, as a repeating constitutional unit,
• a repeating unit (A) shown in the following formula (2) and
• a repeating unit (B) shown in the following formula (3) and having a different structure from that of (A), and
• a mole ratio of (A)/(B) is from 30/70 to 70/30:
• in formula (2), R′ denotes a bivalent residue obtained by removing two hydroxyl groups from a diol having 4 to 6 carbon atoms;
• and
• in formula (3), R2 denotes a bivalent residue obtained by removing two hydroxyl groups from a diol having 4 to 6 carbon atoms.
