[ATM] Wind resistance & golf balls

["Roger Chisholm-Batten" <rogecb@tiscali.co.uk>]

At a recent viewing session the wind got up a bit and started shaking my 
8.75 inch sonotube scope.  A friend who was observing with me commented 
adversely. He is a keen golfer and suggested that I think laterally and take 
the example of a golf ball.

To cut resistance golf balls have regular indentations all over. The 
suggestion was that I do the same with my tube.

Advice please.  How many indentations per square inch would you recommend 
and would hitting a round hammer head against the tube be sufficient to 
create permanent dents?

I appreciate that objective views may be a little thin on the ground as this 
is such a giant leap in ATM thinking.so few ATMers would have contemplated 
let alone performed the proposed.  All ideas appreciated.

Roger
