Two ways:

Assuming you're using LW 3.5+, just use the Bump Array texture on a
sphere (I think that'll work, but may give you different sized holes,
which would be bad.)

Option 2 is to make a sphere in Modeler (umm.. this'll only work if you
have either INTEL Final version or any Amiga version...). Copy this
object and paster it into the last layer, and just leave that one alone
for now.  Go back to the first layer and hit K to kill  all the polygons
but keep the points.  Go to an empty layer and make a  sphere with a
radius equal to the size of the holes you want in the golf ball.

The next step is to arrange the layers so the ball of just points in in
the Foreground layer, and the sphere is in the background layer.  Now all
you have to do is use the Point Clone macro (I think that's the name).
That'll replace each point that is in the first layer with the object in
th BG layer.  Now, just Boolean/Subtract the new object (the series of
spheres) into another that shpere you copied into the last layer.

That's it!  hope this helps...
