How to find the volume of a golf ball or anything curved
First, get the item. 
Next, get a measuring cup that uses millilitres as the measuring type. 
 
Fill the cup with water to, lets say, 500 millilitres (If your cup does not have 500 millilitres, try going a bit lower). Record on a piece of paper what it is.

Then just put the golf ball inside, and record the new amount of millilitres in the cup.

Subtract the original number of millilitres that you had from the new number (example: 725 (new) - 500 (original) = 225)

Now since 1 millilitre is equal to 1 centimetre cubed, just convert 225 millilitres into 225 centimetres cubed, which is the volume of the golf ball! Oh, and please notice that your answer could range from 150 centimetres cubed to 500 centimetres cubed.

Well that's all bye!
