The volume of a standard size golf ball can be calculated using the formula for the volume of a sphere:

V = (4/3)πr^3

where r is the radius of the golf ball. The diameter of the golf ball is 1.680 inches, so the radius is 0.840 inches.

V = (4/3)π(0.840)^3

= 2.468 in^3

The weight of the golf ball can be calculated by multiplying its volume by the density of the material:

W = V × D

where D is the density of the material. The density of the material is 0.6523 ounces per cubic inch.

W = 2.468 in^3 × 0.6523 oz/in^3

= 1.6095 oz

Therefore, the weight of one golf ball is approximately 1.61 ounces (rounded to the nearest hundredth of an ounce).
