Abstract:
A resin composition for golf balls includes specific amounts of (A) polyurethane or polyurea and (B) an oxazoline group-containing acrylic polymer or an oxazoline group-containing styrene polymer. A golf ball having a core encased by a cover of one or more layers, wherein at least one cover layer is formed of this resin composition, exhibits a good adhesion between adjoining layers, enabling the ball to achieve a high scuff resistance without lowering the initial velocity of the ball.

Claim (Index 10):
The golf ball of  claim 9 , wherein the resin composition layer further comprises (C) a material having functional groups which react with oxazoline groups that is at least one selected from the group consisting of polyesters, polyamides, olefin-unsaturated carboxylic acid random copolymers, olefin-unsaturated carboxylic acid-unsaturated carboxylic acid ester random copolymers, metal ion neutralization products of olefin-unsaturated carboxylic acid random copolymers, and metal ion neutralization products of olefin-unsaturated carboxylic acid-unsaturated carboxylic acid ester random copolymers, and wherein a layer adjoining the resin composition layer is formed of a composition containing component (D) which differs from component (C).
