—I thought everybody already knew that the dimples on a golf ball make it go farther-—less “drag”—

Would strategically placed dimples on aircraft wings also reduce drag ?

Remember that a golf ball is most likely spinning, whereas a wing, even on a helicopter, is relatively stable to the air.

Yes, but part of that “drag” is lift.
