    If he didn't hit it exactly horizontally OR in outer space, then the question can't be answered, because gravity would influence its acceleration.

    If he DID hit it exactly horizontally, and its acceleration at the immediate instant after the hit was 25 m/s², then, from Newton's 2nd law of motion:

    F = m·A

    m = F / A

    m = (15 N) / (25 m/s²)

    m = 0.6 kg (the mass of about 13 actual real regulation golf balls)
