We claim: 1. A golf ball comprising at least one thermoplastic, thermoset, castable, or millable material formed from a composition comprising at least one telechelic polycarbonate comprising α, ω-diamino poly(hexamethylene carbonate-block-trioxyethylene carbonate-block-hexamethylene carbonate) or α,ω-dihydroxy poly(hexamethylene carbonate-block-trioxyethylene carbonate-block-hexamethylene carbonate). 2. The golf ball of claim 1, wherein the telechelic polycarbonate has a molecular weight of 200to 12,000. 3. The golf ball of claim 1, wherein the composition further comprises at least one reactant chosen from isocyanates and curatives. 4. The golf ball of claim 1, wherein the composition further comprises at least one isocyanate-containing prepolymer, and wherein the telechelic polycarbonate copolymer is used to cure the prepolymer. 5. The golf ball of claim 1, wherein the material at least in part forms at least one portion of the golf ball comprising an inner center, core, inner core layer, intermediate core layer, outer core layer, intermediate layer, cover, inner cover layer, intermediate cover layer, outer cover layer, discontinuous layer, wound layer, foamed layer, lattice network layer, web or net, adhesion or coupling layer, barrier layer, layer of uniformed or non-uniformed thickness, layer having a plurality of discrete elements, or a layer filled with liquid, gel, powder, or a gas. 6. The golf ball of claim 1, wherein the material forms at least one cover layer having a thickness of 0.125 inches or less and a Shore D hardness of 20 to 80. 7. The golf ball of claim 1, wherein the composition further comprises an amorphous telechelic polycarbonate comprising amorphous polyamine polycarbonate or amorphous polyol polycarbonate. 8. The golf ball of claim 7, wherein the amorphous telechelic polycarbonate is substantially free of ether linkages. 9. The golf ball of claim 7, wherein the amorphous telechelic polycarbonate has a molecular weight of 200 to 12,000.
