About
A golf ball is a dimpled sports ball built to strict minimum diameter and maximum weight standards.
Official regulations set a strict minimum diameter of 1.68 inches (42.67 mm) and a maximum weight of 1.62 ounces (45.93 g). Because smaller and heavier balls travel farther, most modern balls are manufactured right at these exact limits. Although it is only slightly larger across than a 1.57-inch (40 mm) ping-pong ball, its solid core makes it roughly sixteen times heavier.
