Carrying & Caddies During the 1880s, golf bags first came into use. âThe beast of burdenâ is an old nickname for the caddie who carried golfersâ equipment for them. The first powered golf car appeared around 1962 and was invented by Merlin L. Halvorson.
That credit goes to Colin Murdoch who invented the modern day plastic disposable syringe in the 1950s. (along with child proof medicine containers and the tranquillizer gun). It is often claimed that an African American (Phil Brooks) invented the first disposable syringe. This claim is incorrect and may be influenced by a desire to promote notable African Americans. Brooks' syringe is by no means the modern day plastic disposable syringe that everyone is familiar with. In fact, it looks nothing like the one we're used to. It can rightly be claimed that Brooks was the first person to receive a US Patent for a disposable syringe.
