Golf ball

A golf ball comprising a spherical core and a cover covering the spherical core,

• wherein the cover is formed from a polyurethane composition containing a polyurethane elastomer as a resin component, the polyurethane elastomer is formed by using 1,4-bis(isocyanatomethyl)cyclohexane as a polyisocyanate component, and the polyurethane composition has a shear loss modulus G″ of more than 5.03×106 Pa and 1.17×108 Pa or less when measured in a shear mode using a dynamic viscoelasticity measuring apparatus under conditions including a temperature of 0° C., and an oscillation frequency of 10 Hz, and
• wherein the golf ball has a hardness distribution such that R2 of a linear approximate curve determined by the least-squares method is 0.95 or more, if the core center hardness (JIS-C), the core hardness (JIS-C) measured at intervals of 2.5 mm progressively away from the core center, the core surface hardness (JIS-C), and the slab hardness (JIS-C) of the cover surface are plotted versus distances from the core center to the surface of the golf ball.
