The hydroxyl-functional urethane resin and polyester resin and/or epoxy resin in the ink layer react with isocyanate functional resins in the urethane clear top coat of a golf ball to form urethane bondings respectively, whereby the strong adhesion between the urethane clear top coat and the ink layer is realised, and the transferred pattern becomes to be hardly removed from the golf ball surface and to be superior in hitting durability.
