dimple: A depression on the cover of the ball, enabling the ball to be affected by the air.
divot: Turf cut out by the clubhead as a result of correct ball to turf contact.
dog-leg: A hole on which the fairway curves excessively.
Dimple
The round indentations on the golf ball cover which are scientifically designed to enable the ball to make a steady and true flight.
dimples-- Small indentations on the cover of a golf ball which make the ball fly further and straighter.
Dimples
How do dimple patterns affect the flight/trajectory of a golf ball?
Dimple: Depression on a golf ball designed to help get the ball airborne and maintain its accurate flight. Depending upon the number, depth and arrangement of the dimples, ball aerodynamics are greatly influenced.
Dimple: Depression on the cover of a golf ball.
Divot: Turf displaced by the clubhead during a swing.
Dogleg: Hole on which the fairway curves one way or the other.
Dimple: One of the hundreds of characteristic indentations in a golf ball. These indentations increase the tendency of a golf ball to spin and produce lift during flight.
Dimples : The indentations on the surface of a golf ball which increase friction, promote spin and lift.
DIMPLES
Small concave markings on the golf ball helping the ball rise in flight.

dimple
Refers to small depression in standard golf ball. Also refers to protruberance due to manufacture on a minigolf ball aka nipple.

Dimples on a regulation golf ball differ greatly from one golf ball to another, depending on their depth, alignment and distribution.
Dimple
1.) Depression on the cover of a ball providing lift, leading to distance and/or accuracy. Deeper dimples generally cause a lower ball flight; while shallow dimples add to trajectory.

DIMPLE - the small round indentations on the golf ball. A lot of really smart guys (some call them scientists) got together and figured out how many dimples would be the ball fly straight and true.
The Dimple Error in Putting On rare occasion, it's possible that the putter face's striking the raised edge of a dimple on the back of the golf ball might misdirect the roll enough to cause the putt to miss, ...
The first dimple-pattern for golf balls is patented by William Taylor in England.
"The Complete Golfer" by Harry Vardon is published. It promotes and demonstrates the Vardon or overlapping grip.

DIMPLE: The indentations in a golf ball.
DIVOT: A piece of turf dug out of the ground in the act of hitting the golf ball.
DOGLEG: A hole (not the one in the green) which "bends" to the right or left.
Imagine hitting a ball without dimples. As it spins, air flows around it and disrupts air, creating drag that slows the ball down. Dimples on a ball allow air to hold the ball's shape longer, creating less drag and wind resistance.
When a ball sits in the rain for more than a few seconds, its dimples fill up with water, and the result is that you will not be able to make clean club-to-ball impact. It will slip and slide both on impact and during its initial roll.

The most striking feature of the Lady Dunlop Putter are the funny little dimples on the hitting surface. According to Dunlop Sport, this is meant to improve contact by eliminating air cushions between the ball and the putting surface.
Hi Mark, a PRO V1 has a line along the dimples all the way round it. Is this a join? When you strike a PRO V1 should you strike it along the line or should you strike the logo? Is there even a difference?

This spin, in combination with ball dimples, is what causes a golf ball to fly in its unique manner. A golf ball without backspin spin will travel distances up to 50 percent less than one with optimal backspin.
The rate of rotation or spin of a ball around a horizontal spin axis that is at right angles to the ball's flight path. This spin, in combination with ball dimples, is what causes a golf ball to fly in its unique manner.
