    Why These Materials Were Chosen:
    In the 2-layer golf ball, plastic and rubber were chosen for 2 different reasons. Rubber was chosen because is it is light and bouncy, which gives the ball distance when hit. Plastic was chosen because it is very tough. This toughness protects the ball when it is hit, and it is also weather-proof. Also, plastic is fairly light.

    1. Oil is drilled up from underground using complex rigs.
    2. The oil is transported to a refinery and refined. This is done by using fractional distillation, which involves separating the oil into different by-products by heating them to their different boiling points.

    Function:
    The function of a golf ball is of course to be played in the game of golf. The point of the game is to get the ball in the hole in as few shots as possible. There are more complicated rules also, like that you must use a tee on your first shot, or that you can't move your ball before you hit it. Overall, golf is a very popular game and is played world-wide.
