| 词汇 | dimples |
| 词源 | dimples. Englishman William Taylor is credited with manu- facturing the first golf ball with dimples (that is, a meshlike sur- face made up of small depressions) in 1908. The dimples enable the ball to carry farther and, in case you haven’t counted, there are 360 of them on a modern golf ball. See par for the course. |
