And it is called the âAtti patternâ for the more simple and very obvious reason that it was invented by a man called Atti: Raphael (also known as Ralph) Atti (born of Italian parents in New York in 1900). At the time he was inventing this golf ball, the same Raphael Atti was a persistent typewriter inventor. On this day in 1929, Atti applied for the first of five typewriter patents all related to a noiseless typewriter.
