I came across an article titled “Let’s Hear it for the Golf Tee. It’s such a simple thing.” This simple thing is the humble golf tee, a peg made of wood, plastic or some other materials that most of us grab by the handful and stuff in our pockets. It’s as much of the game of golf as the ball and flag sticks are. In 1899 a Harvard-educated African-American dentist designed this “mighty accessory that props up the game.” A factory in Maine churns out two million a day. Early in the 20th century a little mound of dirt was formed by a player or his caddy, the dirt or sand was moistened and kept in a box; hence, “tee box.” The hot weather is upon us so take care! Talk with you next month.
