Abstract
A dimpled golf ball is provided with a regular repeating dimple pattern by projecting on to the surface of the ball the edges of a regular octahedron, thereby forming eight equilateral triangles on the surface. Each of the eight equilateral triangles can then be divided into sub-triangles so that there are four, six, seven or nine dimple-free great circles on the ball.
