Description
Disclaimer: I don't play golf or own any ‘real’ golf balls :).
This golf ball was created by adding dimples to a Goldberg polyhedron, specifically GP(6,0). The Goldberg polyhedron coordinates were taken from David McCooey's website on visual polyhedra: https://dmccooey.com/polyhedra/DualGeodesicIcosahedra.html
