In the chemistry of air pressure, turbulence, and aerodynamics, surface structures are vital physical element. History has it that there are things that seem to be peculiar on their make-up hundreds of years ago which eventually came up with a better composition based on scientific research. And a golf ball is the best paradigm of this theoretical stand in history.…

Golf Balls The Science Behind The Dimples
The dynamics behind the flight of the golf ball offers a fascinating insight into the physical interworkings of air pressure, turbulence, and aerodynamics. When golf was first played in Scotland, most players played using clumsy golf apparatus, with the first golf clubs and golf balls made of wood. In 1618 the “Featherie” was introduced. It was a golf ball made…
