Along he same line, I remember reading, a long time ago, that during WWII, the Germans, flying from somewhere in Europe, (Germany or Spain) had scheduled passenger flights between Germany and Buenos Aires using the Condor passenger plane. The pilot told how they flew 25 feet above the ocean with the engines throttled back and covered great distances that way.
That being said, I see no way that the "ground effect" has anything to do with a golfball unless it is flyng about 1 inch off the ground.
