A golf ball includes a portion formed from a golf ball-forming composition
containing at least one kind selected from a crosslinked silicone rubber
powder and a crosslinked silicone resin powder. Each of the crosslinked
silicone rubber powder and the crosslinked silicone resin powder has an
average particle size in a range of 60 to 500 .mu.m. The golf ball is
excellent in durability against repetitive hitting and adhesiveness of a
coating film, and particularly, has a good resilience and a long flight
distance in both a wide temperature range and a wide hitting head speed
range.
