Asking whether golf balls can get waterlogged isn’t quite the same thing as asking whether or not they actually do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A golf ball is a carefully constructed item, with such things as weight and design protected by the stipulations of the industry. A thoroughly waterlogged ball would be likely to have a substantial affect on the course of play. <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Thus it is important to fully understand the dynamics of the golf ball and what, if anything, might affect its performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A simple creation though it is, the golf ball in its own way can actually be thought of as a somewhat complex piece of equipment. Unlike the very first golf balls, which were made of wood, and slightly later models which were made of leather, the modern ball is made either of urethane or of Surlyn, and is structured in multiple layers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Specifically, this might involve either one, two or three layers of rubber within surrounded by a dimple pattern on a hardcover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the surface of it, the golf ball cover appears waterproof. In reality however, the protective coating is generally speaking water resistant rather than waterproof and, given enough opportunity, water will be able to penetrate towards the inner layers through small holes in the outer shell which are not usually visible to the naked eye.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
