How Many Dimples are There on a Golf Ball?

So Golf Virgin, could you guess off the top of your head how many dimples are there on a golf ball? - Josh from Nantucket, MA

Sitting around looking at your balls again wondering why they are the way they are, karma maybe? But seriously, you’re putting me to the flame huh? I would have to say that how many dimples are there on a golf ball varies between 300 - 500 depending on who designed it.

For all of you people out there who love your golf trivia consider this. The record holder was a ball that had 1,070 dimples. Also, all brands except for 1 have even-numbered dimples and the only odd-numbered ball on market has a strange total of 333 dimples.
