What Are Those Golf Ball Dimples All About?
(c) Copyright 2005 by Corey Meltifa
How many times have you... wondered why there are dimples all over the golf ball?
In this article I will explain to you why golf balls have dimples. How it controls the flight of the ball and why they are really important to your golf game.
Did you know that golf balls were originally smooth? That is right. Smooth as glass. Here is the funny thing though. Golfers started to notice that the older the golf ball with cuts and bruises traveled longer distances!
Apparently the nicks and cuts on the golf ball caused the ball to fly farther down the fairway compared to a brand new ball. So like all golfers will do, they flocked toward the old balls like a moth on a heat lamp! I imagine at this point some aerodynamicist must have examined the beat up ball syndrome and realized that the cuts were acting as turbulators. These nicks and cuts were reducing drag which gave greater distance!
The dimples on a golf are the same exact thing as these nicks and cuts. The just are modernized! I think this is absolutely amazing. I love learning the history and evolution of golf equipment. Maybe it is custom clubs http://www.golf-equipment-deals.com/What_Are_Custom_Golf_Clubs.html and how they evolved.
Concluding, I hope you enjoyed this brief article on golf ball dimples. So head to the golf course and don't worry if your ball bounces off a tree. It may help!

Shih Tzu - Coat Handling Techniques The pins of your brush should make contact with the skin at the beginning of the brush stroke. From there, make a straight stroke outward to the ends of the hair. Try to teach your dog (and I say this in a "do as I say, and not do as I do," because this is a very hard thing for me to teach my dogs to do....but that is me....and I need more practice. So with practice it can be done, and if you are planning to have the long coat of hair on your shih tzu, you will need to teach the dog to lie still on his side. Brush one layer at a time, then pull another layer and repeat the process until you have brushed to the center part of your dog.

| Goldens And Black Labrador Retrievers, Today I fell into a trap that I should never have allowed myself to get into. I actually trusted my dog, my Nikki, a 3 year golden retriever.Nikki is an amazingly affectionate dog, even more than normal for a golden retriever. She is gentle, good natured and behaves pretty well.She loves going out for car drives, and she is a very well behaved dog in the car. She sits beside me, head hanging out the window and gently watching the world go by. She never gets agitated, restless or excited, even when she spots another dog out the window.The other day, I took both Nikki, and Benny my black lab out for a drive. This time Benny was sitting in the front. Nikki was in the back. As usual I had the back and front window open.I drove around the corner, and pulled into my driveway. And, what do I... |  |
