Who put dimples on a golf ball?
Zitat von Gast am Mai 13, 2025, 4:37 am UhrDimples on golf balls were discovered unintentionally in the 1800s when players noticed that older, scuffed balls flew farther than smooth new ones. The first deliberate dimple design was patented by English engineer William Taylor in 1905. He recognized the aerodynamic benefits and created a patterned surface to enhance lift and reduce drag, revolutionizing golf ball design and influencing the modern balls used today.
