Description

The idea for a golf-like game may have come from elsewhere but modern golf was born in Scotland. 10 By the mid-15th century, it became so popular that it had to be banned by the Act of Parliament in 1457 for interfering with archery practice which was seen vital for national defence. 11 The ban, however, didn’t work which clearly indicates the fact that it had to be repeated by the successors of King James II of Scotland (r. 1437-1460), James III (r. 1460-1488) and James IV (r. 1488-1513) in 1471 and 1491, respectively. 12 Interestingly, the ban was ignored even by His Majesty James IV who is known to have been an enthusiastic golfer. 13 The first golf ball in history was known as a Featherie In the same year when Taylor was granted the patent for the dimple pattern, the Scottish inventor Frank H. Mingay was granted the patent for a liquid core golf ball by the United States Patent Office. 58 The leading ballmakers of the time including Spalding liked the idea of a liquid-core ball and for much of the Despite its outstanding flight characteristics, the featherie was more or less useless when it got wet. Ballmakers tried to “fix” the issue by rubbing it with

Spalding hired Tom Bendelow as his designer, and Bendelow went on to develop many courses still in use today. In 1906 Bendelow designed the expansion of Atlanta’s East Lake Club, the eventual home club of one Robert Tyre Jones, Jr. More Spalding Golf Innovations

Last but not the least important, we mustn’t forget the fact that golf is a game that keeps on growing and evolving. And with it, golf essentials– including the golf ball – continues to evolve as well. Maybe another major revolution may already be on its way, but we just don’t know it yet. Footnotes A golf ball is central to the game of golf. In fact, golf is all about the ball. Well, getting it into the hole in the ground. All the fuss surrounding the correct posture, swinging technique, proper grip, etc. is actually all about hitting the ball at the right angle, sending it the right distance and last but not least to control its direction, speed and rotation. And while most golfers are aware of the influence of golf clubs on their performance, only a few understand how the selection of the ball affects the game, or about the history of golf balls in general. And even fewer golfers know that the ball has been responsible for quite a few revolutions in golf. According to John F. Hotchkiss (1997), the author of one of the most acclaimed books on the history of the golf ball, the latter revolutionised the game at least four times. Mythical origins of the golf ball (and the game of golf)

By this time, Spalding was making everything from barbells, dumbells, punching bags, and rowing machines to fencing blades, whistles, shot puts, javelins, and golf clubs. Spalding, along with Wright and Ditson, was importing golf clubs from Scotland. By the following year, Spalding began making clubs in the U.S. In 1895, Spalding started manufacturing golf balls.White, Colin. Projectile Dynamics in Sport: Principles and Applications. Abingdon: Routledge, 2011. By the end of the 18th century, the featherie became more or less standardised. It was on average 1 ½ inches in diameter and weighted about 1.4 ounces (39.7 grams) to 1.6 ounces (45.4 grams) which largely corresponds to the size and weight of a modern golf ball. It was typically also treated with chalk or some

Earlier I reported that Spalding produced golf balls with 332 dimples arranged in the Acushnet icosahedron dimple pattern from 1975 to 1979. 1 Then Spalding introduced a new icosahedron pattern with 320 regular size and 12 smaller dimples from 1979 until 1987. 2 Spalding obtained their first patent for a golf ball with 332 dimples in 1988. 3 Now I report on the Spalding golf balls with 422 and 410 dimples. These dimple patterns dominated the Spalding dimple landscape all the way through the 1990’s. John F. Hotchkiss, 500 Years of Golf Balls: History & Collector’s Guide (Iowa: AntiqueTrader Books, 1997). This book contains a reprint of John Stuart Martin, The Curious History of the Golf Ball, Mankind’s Most Fascinating Sphere, (New York: Horizon Press, 1968).

Next time we will report our results on additional Spalding US dimple pattern patents and how these an be used to obtain the date of introduction of Spalding golf balls in the 1980’s.The compass and the caliper are useful tools for measuring some of the properties of the golf balls that you may have in your collection. I use the compass to draw a circle for the golf ball picture in my notebook. I use the caliper to measure the diameter of the golf ball. I include this information in my notebook. Figures B and C Among Jones’ innovations: the first matched set of steel-shafted irons, the first set of irons with the sweet spot in the center of each club (denoted by a circle of dots on the clubface), and an iron set where the scoring irons were one length, the mid irons were one length, and the long irons were one length. Not quite Bryson-like, but innovative for the day.
