y are of this design, featuring a hard inner core cased by a multi-indented polybutadiene cover. Standards have been set by the United States Golf Association, marking the gold ball at 1.68 inches in diameter, and a 8.86 square inch surface area. The USGA set standards on the distance in which a ball can travel under "highly controlled test launch conditions" in 1976, stating that it should not be allowed to travel more that 296.8 yards while under these laboratory constraints. Of course, balls exist that can travel much further than this, therefore the physics "trick" that manufactures and designers must come up with is creating the perfect ball, which !
             travels under the required distance in lab conditions but flies much further on the course.
             The basic layout of the casing of a modern golfball consists of a Surlyn layer (Surlyn is a material made of polybutadiene and Zinc) indented with anywhere from 380
