How Long Have Golf Balls Been Around
Have Golf Balls Always Had Dimples
Many people have enjoyed the game, but chances are very few have ever thought about how golf balls came about. The game is centuries old and they have evolved quite a bit through those years. They are regulated and their weight and size much be exact and they are checked regularly.
Before the early 17th century, they were made of wood. After that a new ball was designed that was a hand-made leather pocket with feathers on the inside. The outside was then painted
The feathers were boiled down and stuffed into the leather pouch. As they began to cool down, they would expand again and the leather would dry up. This created a very compact and tight ball. If there were any openings in the pouch, they would sewn shut.
While this design worked well for a couple of centuries, it did have its downfalls. They were not easy to make and only a few could be made in a day. This made them very expensive. They also would split if they hit a hard surface.
By the mid 1800s there was a new design created. This was made from the dry sap of a tree that had a rubbery texture and could shaped when it was heated. Accidentally, they also discovered that when creating these spheres, the tools used was making a dimpling on the exterior of them. This dimpling seem to give it a longer flight range, so they began to deliberately cause the defects.
Next came the rubberized design that were then coated with a outside cover to keep it from bouncing to much. Most of today’s are made of several layers of synthetic materials. They are classified based upon the number of layers that are used in the golf balls. They now have many different designs to suit every player’s need.

Anything Goes (1956 Film Soundtrack) $14.98 It’s a testament to Hollywood’s desire–nay, need–to complicate things that Cole Porter’s 1934 show Anything Goes made it to the screen twice (20 years apart), both times with Bing Crosby as the male lead.
