A method for manufacturing a golf ball showing a great flight distance on driver shots for includes the steps of: preparing a rubber composition containing a base rubber, an α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid having 3 to 8 carbon atoms and/or a metal salt thereof as a co-crosslinking agent, a crosslinking initiator and a carboxylic acid and/or a salt thereof; heat pressing the rubber composition at a press temperature ranging from t-40° C. to t-15° C. to mold a spherical core, wherein t ° C. is a one-minute half-life temperature of the crosslinking initiator; and forming at least one cover layer covering the spherical core. |
