Question

why do golfballs have damples

Answer 1

Dimples on a golf ball create a thin turbulent boundary layer of air that clings to the ball'ssurface. This allows the smoothly flowing air to follow the ball's surface a little farther around the back side of the ball, thereby decreasing the size of the wake
