Default RE: Golf ball dimples

In that case you have changed the pattern of air flow over the wing. As this happens lift is lost and the underside of the wing is actually now a very large leading edge, and yes, drag may be created behind it, but is still oposing the direction of the plane's travel until the point foward travel stops and the "hover" beggins.
