A golf ball comprising: (a) a core; (b) an inner mantle layer; (c) an intermediate mantle layer; (d) an outer mantle layer; and (e) at least one cover layer; wherein the core has a PGA compression of less than 70, and the core/inner mantle layer/intermediate mantle layer combined construct has a PGA compression of at least 30.

A resin composition for golf balls is made of (A) polyurethane or polyurea and (B) a styrene resin material, component (B) being included in an amount of 0.5 to 50 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of component (A). In a golf ball having a core and a cover of one or more layer encasing the core, at least one cover layer is formed of this resin composition. The resin composition is especially useful as a golf ball cover material because the ball does not fly too far and is easier to control on approach shots, yet does not sacrifice distance on shots with a driver.
