? about Golf ball dimples

I have several large areas I want to cover with a material that will have golf ball dimples on it, (I will be making them, figured out how to do that). My ? is; is SCALE important, for the effect. I'd like to make them 1 1/2" in diameter, and 1/8" deep.Its a lot more labor to make them say, 1/2" in diameter.(Imagine doing a 4'x8' sheet, using a drill to make each dimple. A LOT more work!) So, will I still get the effect of reducing the boundary layer, and therefore the drag on the air flowing over the surface? Anybody Know??Dutch
