What is that little number on a golf ball?

I always see a number above or bellow the name of the golf ball. I've seen 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 0, 00, and 11 and i dont know what it means. Is the larger or lower number better? Is it like the weight or something please answer it in the best detail you can.What is that little number on a golf ball?The numbers are primarily for identification. Prior to teeing off in a tournament or friendly match, each player will show the other the brand and the number on the ball. In the state tournaments in CT, we go a step further. In addition to the number we request that each player place a mark on his ball that is his own and different from all the other players. More than once has this come into play at the state level and the unique marks saved the player penalty strokes for playing the wrong ball.What is that little number on a golf ball?
