George Franklin Grant (September 15, 1846 â August 21, 1910) was the first African-American professor at Harvard. He was also a Boston dentist, and an inventor of a wooden golf tee.
Bloxsom and Douglas had the first patent, but there were artificial tees before theirs, too. The fact is, nobody knows what the first artificial (as opposed to sod or sand) tee was, or who made it. So the inventor of the very first manmade golf tee is, and likely always will be, unknown. To view the patent illustrations of the Bloxsom/Douglas and Grant tees, and read more about the history of this humble piece of equipment, see our article on Golf Tees in history and the rules. 1  List. 2  Article. 3  Article. 4  Article. 5  Article. 6  Article. 7  Article. 8  Article.
