Never, but I have been bored enough to start counting bricks on walls.

nice but now you have to count on a different brand.. cause im thinking its almost unlikely a different kind of ball will have the same amount. try a nike or a calloway

Just a piece of advice everyone, never do this when you're drunk.

Four thousand three hundred and thirty three... four thousand three hundred and thirty four.... eight thousand and two.....

420 is actually quite a few dimples, most golf balls have around 320-350.

No, each one was just another brick in the wall for me.

My granddad got so bored in hospital one time that he tried to count the dots in the ceiling tiles. Imagine a golf ball stretched out into a flat square, and then imagine a lot of them :p

Nice one. :D

My mechanics teacher (or maybe physics) told me once why golf balls had dimples - it was something to do with drag. I remember it being interesting at the time, but can't remember exactly what it was.

Or was it fluid dynamics man...? That would also make sense...

grrrr to bad memory.

I've been really bored lately. I've been drinking and smoking a lot. I think I'm going to quit both starting today. I have not just "fallen asleep" in around three weeks.

You'd better do it again.

No, his TV does. Those are dimensions that aren't used for TVs, or anything.
I had a blog. It sucked.

In which case it actually is his problem. :p

How do you know other golfballs don't have more or less craters, though? You might need to count another one...

The reason for the dimples is specifically because air moving around a spherical object creates a zone of lower pressure directly behind it, as the air cannot completely envelope as it moves -- and this slows the ball down, and decreases the range and speed of the ball dramatically. The dimples help to break up the air moving over the surface, and create a series of trailing vortices that disrupt the lower-pressure zone and allow the ball to fly to its maximum distance.

If I remember correctly, that is.
