An improved colored golf ball is disclosed. The golf ball is made with a fluorescent coloring. In order to improve durability and give very pleasing aesthetics, the fluorescent coloring is blended into the cover stock. The name and/or number preferably are stamped directly onto the core for surprisingly superior durability. The cover stock can suitably be a clear ionomer resin and for highest gloss a clear final coating can be applied. If the name or trademark is stamped directly onto the core, it is visible through the clear cover. A UV stabilizer may be included. If a dye is used, it is preferred that it be 0.01-0.4% by weight of the cover and if a pigment is used the preferred range is 0.5-6% by weight of the cover.
