1. A method of making a golf ball having a core and outer cover and using first and second mold halves, comprising the steps of: a) placing a first portion of polyurethane in a first cavity of the first mold half; b) allowing said first portion of polyurethane to partially cure to a selected state of gel in said first cavity; c) positioning said core within said first cavity while vertically and laterally centering said core within said first cavity to mold said first portion of said polyurethane at said selected state of gel around said core; d) placing a second portion of polyurethane in a second cavity of the second mold half at a time subsequent to the placing of said first portion of polyurethane in said first cavity of said first mold half; e) allowing said second portion of polyurethane to partially cure to the same selected state of gel as the first portion was when the core was moved into said first cavity of said first mold half; f) mating said first mold half, having the core and first portion of polyurethane against said second mold half when said second portion of said polyurethane in said second cavity of the second mold half is at the same selected state of gel as the first portion was when the core was moved into said first cavity of said first mold half; and g) curing the polyurethane in the mated mold halves.
