Default golf balls

Ever wondered why golf balls have dimples and not totally smooth like a table tennis ball?

its more aerodynamically stable and if you had a smooth golf ball and a normal golf ball, drive both balls at the same velocity...the dimpled one travels further as well......?

SO why arent cars surfaces like a golf ball then?

wouldnt it also be more fuel efficient?
