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.

History:
featherie was introduced.introduced, but it is unknown who first invented it. It was ball was introduced.introduced by Rev. Adam Paterson. It was traveled far, yetand many people thought that it a new ball would be better.the most successful golf ball. In the early 1900's their wish came true:they were were proven wrong: the modern plastic and rubber ball was introduced.introduced by Coburn Haskell . This design distance, and throughout the basic design is still used today.
1900's it was tweaked and re-designed until the modern ball combining plastic and rubber was made.

Plastic:
from oil. Most oil in the world is drilled in the middle east, though some is drilled in other countries and sometimes even in the ocean. The following
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.

Materials and Why they were chosen

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.
