Sheeshhh...Shoot me for being busy.

Just to appease the staff here at ST, I'm asking a very serious question.
Hope someone can help.

Why are golf balls round?

to answer your question.. it was to easy to stop the ball on the green when the ball was square and to easy to tee up when it was triangle

Ahh, the sublime dimpled spheroid.

Because that's the way Bobby Jones designed it.

They aren't round at all.

I believe that they are spherical, being 3-dimensional.

Because a sphere is easier to shove up your playing partner's rear than any other shape when he beats you 6 and 5.
