Create hex/pentagon shaped dimples on a circular surface.

Okay, I know  we just had a huge long discussion on round dimples on a circular surface while keeping the round dimple profile.  This truly is for a purpose, I'm not just trying to waste time.  It is the same concept but instead of a circular dimple I'm trying to create a hex or pentagon shaped dimple.  If you are familiar with golfing, look at a callaway golf ball dimple pattern, it is a pentagon.  It is that same concept but as opposed to a spherical shape I'm trying to put that on a circular shape just like my last discussion.

Example of the callaway golf ball dimple and an image I found that might be helpful.  I've been playing with this for a while and can't figure out how to do it.  The bottom of the dimple doesn't have to be perfectly spherical, in fact that's impossible.  I do want it to be or appear as smooth or spherical as possible however.

Thank you!
