I'm confused if a low-enough Reynolds number implies that laminar flow is still happening, how would the dimples on a golf ball even create turbulent flow given they have such a low Reynolds number?
EDIT: Ah, the velocity determines increases so does the Reynolds number. So at around 55 mph, the Reynolds number is high enough to induce turbulent flow.
This article is fascinating and now I understand why golf balls have dimples.
