A golf ball is provided that is soft and thus provides an excellent shot feeling,
the golf ball exhibiting less deterioration in impact resilience and a superior
spin characteristic. The golf ball is further superior in burr resistance and scuff
resistance when being shot by an iron club. The golf ball is formed of a core and
a cover surrounding the core and the cover composition contains a polymer component
including 10 to 80 parts by weight of an ethylene-(meth)acrylic acid copolymer-based
ionomer resin (Component A), 0 to 60 parts by weight of an ethylene-(meth)acrylic
acid-(meth)acrylic acid ester ternary copolymer-based ionomer resin (Component
B), and 5 to 60 parts by weight of a thermoplastic elastomer containing a styrene
block (Component C). The cover composition has a shore D hardness of 40 to 60.
