@JackThompson: A second post of a ball on the same platform is not a repost but something complete.

@Anonymous: Can't be 100% sure, but if the ball was real and being struck against a wall with that kind of force, i'm pretty sure it would shatter, not turn into a globule like this one does. A golf-ball's exterior is not that malleable.

The real question isn't whether the ball could compress to that degree, but whether it would collapse. Reading Wikipedia casually informed me about two non-standard types of golf ball which this might be.
Stallers are far softer than a normal golf ball, allowing them to be compressed far more easily and are given greater backspin when hit. Both of these give the ball a huge amount of lift, producing shots that climb very high into the air with very little distance traveled over the ground. In the right conditions, such a ball may travel backwards along its flight path or even perform a loop-de-loop.
Sponge balls are softer still; they are generally used as indoor or backyard practice balls, but some are deceptively similar in appearance to a normal ball. Such a ball will travel less than a quarter of the distance of a normal golf ball. -

They look kinda elastic, even if your brother says they're very hard when you throw them at him.21 -
