Knudsen's History: December 12th, 2007.....

On December 12th, in the year 1899, George Grant patented the wooden golf tee. Suprisingly it was not until nearly 50 years later that Alfred "lefty" Mcgillicuddy would, in an attempt to gain notoriety, forego the use of a wooden tee and allow a fellow golfer to hit a ball off of his crotch while lying down.
