Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide a golf ball excellent in fluidity, adhesion of the paint film, and repulsion. Another object of the present invention is to provide a golf ball which is excellent in durability and low-temperature durability. The present invention provides a golf ball comprising: a core and a cover covering the core, wherein the cover is formed from a cover composition that contains as a resin component, (a) a specific high melt viscosity ionomer resin being neutralized with at least two metal ions, and (b) a low melt viscosity ionomer resin being neutralized with at least two metal ions, in a ratio of (a) the high melt viscosity ionomer resin/(b) the low melt viscosity ionomer resin being 55 mass % to 99 mass %/45 mass % to 1 mass %, wherein at least one of metal ions neutralizing carboxyl groups of (a) the high melt viscosity ionomer resin and/or (b) the low melt viscosity ionomer resin is a divalent metal ion and a content of the divalent metal ion per 100 g of the resin component is at least 0.020 mole.
