Golf Ball's Interaction with Air

Here's a decent article on the golf ball's interaction with air. There is a lot of misunderstandings around. I do not know if this article delivers the perfect final truth, but the pictures are great. One thing I miss is a discusson about why the turbulent flow points for the dimpled ball is directed slightly downwards from the center line - as opposed to the laminar flow for the smooth ball. I believe it is an important concept. Might look deeper into this when winter comes.
