I agree with yesterday’s comment about giving some background as to how Dr George F Grant wasn’t the first American to receive a patent. Even though he was an African American he is still an American. A. Brother

Regarding our question and answer yesterday on who the first American was to patent a golf tee - there is a lot of contradictory information on who “invented” the tee but if you go strictly by the date that the U.S. patents were issued - Prosper Senat was awarded his patent in 1896 - three years earlier than George Grant. Now, it is true that Grant’s tee was much closer in design to what we use today, although a tee much like it had been patented in Britain as early as 1892, our question was on the first American to patent “a” golf tee and based on chronology the correct answer was Prosper Senat. Some good information on all of this can be found at http://www33.brinkster.com/iiiii/inventions/tee.asp

Take a look into history and the way to interpret the question Golfnow..a name of David Dalziel arises as the fist american golf tee patent in 1895..all how you read the question..

Yes, it’s true that interpretation can play a factor in the questions and answers but as Keri explained in today’s show, David Dalziel did receive the first patent for a golf tee issued in the U.S., he wasn’t an American citizen. He was a Scotsman who was living in the U.S. We’re sorry if there was any confusion based on our wording “first American to receive”.
