The white dimpled Golf balls of today bear little resemblance to those of yesteryear. Before the arrival of rubber, golfers played with a "feathery ball," a fragile leather pouch filled with boiled goose feathers.

Wooden golf balls were used until the early 17th century. In the 1800's golf balls were made of feathers and a leather casing. The feathers would fill a top hat and the casing was sewn together in a pattern much like an American Baseball.
