Considering that dimples on golf balls reduce drag thus helping the ball to fly approximately twice as far, why not use the same concept to make airplanes, rockets, drones, automobiles and boats

Career Auspices - Why do Golf balls have dimples? For aerodynamic purposes. A smooth, solid ball won't fly nearly as straight or far as a golf ball with dimples. This is due
