Golf Quote: “Treat your birdies like your bogeys. If you can go through a round with a level head, it makes it much easier to recover and to still salvage a good round." – Ben Hogan

Golf Stuff: Dimples on a golf ball reduce air resistance and increase lift, allowing the ball to fly farther and more accurately than a smooth ball. Here's how it works:  Reduced Drag: As a golf ball flies through the air, it pushes air molecules aside, creating a wake of turbulent air behind it. A smooth ball creates a large wake, which increases drag and slows it down. Dimples, however, create a thin layer of turbulent air that clings to the ball’s surface longer. This reduces the size of the wake and, in turn, the drag.  Increased Lift: When a golf ball spins (especially with backspin), the dimples help generate lift through the Magnus effect. The spinning motion combined with the dimpled surface causes air pressure to be lower on top of the ball and higher underneath, helping it stay in the air longer.
