Dimples in golf balls make them travel further
If you get into the technicalities of golf balls, you may see that they are not round and so cannot be called balls. But let’s not go there right now. Originally, golf balls were smooth. As golfers continued to utilize the same balls, they began to find that the more battered golf balls traveled further. The nicks and bumps were helping them in their victory.
Putting imprints on the golf ball eventually became a standard, after scientists demonstrated it was aerodynamically accurate, of course. So, here is the dimple deal explained. The dimples in golf balls create turbulence or mixed airflow, which, when done correctly, reduces drag and allows the ball to travel further. Tiger Woods’ career would look so different with smooth golf balls now.
