Golf ball technology has now progressed

In Scotland is where our golf ball history began. They enjoyed the game of golf with wooden clubs and balls. Both were heavy of course; therefore, the ball didn?ˉt go much farther than 100 yards.  The wound ball represented the beginning of the modern era in  golf ball history. 
Golf ball technology has now progressed to the point that manufacturers are exploring new materials, new ball structures, and new dimple patterns in an effort to gain market share.  Colored balls and balls with translucent covers are readily available.  You can even find balls that glow in the dark (for the more intrepid golfers).  Golf was first played in the 1500s. Not having the supplies or equipment we have now, they had to make do with what they had available.
They started the game of golf with wooden clubs and managed to make round wooden golf balls. From here, in Scotland, is where our golf ball history began. Not knowing any different they enjoyed the game of golf with wooden clubs and balls. They were both heavy so; therefore, the ball didn?ˉt go much farther than 100 yards. A simple 9-hole game of golf could last quite a while.  The stage was then set for the for the next stage in golf ball history.
The creation of the Gutta Percha (the gutty ball). Made from the rubber like sap of the Sapodilla tree.  Balls were shaped by heating the rubber like sap, it was discovered that these balls traveled further the more uneven they were. Indentations were then pounded into the balls with a hammer. The idea of dimpled golf balls was born. The game of golf was still an expensive sport, until a metal press was designed, that enabled the manufacturing of golf balls making them a great deal less expensive.
