I surely didn't make any more errors, but if I did I can count on you to correct me.

Yeah, and it's even worse than you think - because of course we can't discount air resistance, and even stranger with a golf ball - LIFT. All those dimples? They create lift due to the fairly large amount of spin on the ball - you loose some velocity (due to drag), but gain lift, keeping it off the ground longer

Ugh
