Why do golf balls have dimples on outer surface ?

We know that a golfer hit a ball so that it will be in the hole or near to the hole .

It is not as simple as it sounds . Holes may be in a place which is very far from golfer .

Dimples maximize the distance , a golf ball travel . Science of aero dynamics is behind this phenomena .

Dimples reduce the drag on a golf ball by redirecting more air pressure , behind the ball rather than its front portion .

This higher level of pressure behind the golf ball helps them to go far distances ..
