History of the golf ball

The golf ball as is known today was not there and in the earlier era the golf ball which was used was the wooden golf ball. Then came the feathery and the name is there because the feathery was actually a feather ball and was used in the game for a quite a number of years. The cost of the featherie ball was about 5 schillings at that time.

Then came the gutta parcha ball and this was invented by Robert Adams and he was instrumental in the indentations in the ball because of the fact that the ball had some of the defects the ball went very further than the pure sphere. That is why you will see in the modern ball there are so many indentations.
