golf ballGolf originated from a game played on the coast of Scotland during the 15th century. Golfers would hit a pebble instead of a ball around the sand dunes using a stick or club. After 1750, golf evolved into the sport as we recognize it today. In 1774, Edinburgh golfers wrote the first standardized rules for the game of golf.

George Grant was one of two African American to first graduate from Harvard Dental school. Grant was also an avid golfer and patented an improved golf tee in 1899.
