The history bit….
The first balls specifically made for golf were made of wood,its doesn’t bear thinking about how painful that might have been with the jarring
pain shooting right up your arm.
In 1618 the feather golf ball which was cow or horse hide stuffed with goose feather was introduced with the original name ” featherie”
To this day the characteristics of this golf ball have made it the standard golf ball for more than two hundred years.
The practice of hammering the ball to give it an evenly dimpled shape helped give the ball to have a more consistent flight ,came about after the “gutte” ball made from dried sap of a Sapodilla Tree was invented as the defects made onto this ball once hit by the club actually assisted its flight.
