golfballs

Fairway projectiles launched

Golfballs are the small, dimpled spheres used in the game of golf.

The dimpled surface creates aerodynamic lift, allowing the ball to travel farther than a smooth sphere would.

Golfballs vary in construction and compression, affecting distance and feel: He prefers a softer golfball for better control around the greens.
