Golf Lovers Day

Golfers will forever debate the type of club they use, what works best, and why dimples on balls matter.  However, do they ever really stop to think about the importance of the golf tee?  They’re pretty much disposable, but using them allows for the golfer to get under the ball and drive it further – in theory.  Dr. George F. Grant patented the first wooden peg golf tee in 1899, replacing the centuries-old “tuitje”, a small pile of sand that elevated the ball.    Dr. Grant was a dentist so he must have come up with the idea on the golf course after his 2:30 tee time.  (Get it? Tooth-hurty?)   Celebrate Golf Lovers Day with us!

Tomorrow kicks off our National Hunting and Fishing Month celebration, so check back in for our blog post about fishing lures!
