    Abstract: An arrangement for dimples on the surface of a golf ball is disclosed. The golf ball surface is subdivided by projecting a tetrakaidecahedron onto the surface thereof. Dimples are arranged according to the location of the hexagons and trapezoids which comprise the tetrakaidecahedron. The hexagons and trapezoids can also be divided into triangles by inclusion of diagonals therein. With the inclusion of diagonals, up to ten great circle paths can be defined and the dimples can be arranged so that they do not intersect any of the great circle paths.
