Actually that would be impossible, as the pits on a
golf ball would translate to differences of several
hundreds of miles, even rather steep cliffs at the
edges. 

The weather patterns would be extremely localized, and
solar energies would make each pit a virtual cauldron.
At the very least, the life generated on such such a
planet wouldnt resemble life as its developed here
--consisting mostly of extremophiles at the hot low
and cold high regions. And thats assuming the process
of water/atmosphere creation and maintenance were
successful and continuous.

Did I miss anything?
