Our beautiful club boasts one of the best golf course layouts in the country, and offers unparalleled views of Rancho Santa Fe and the San Dieguito River Valley.In 1937, Bing Crosby was one the biggest stars in the world. He was an avid golfer with a two-handicap, and he got the idea to start his own golf tournament.Remember, this was long before there was a PGA Tour as we know it, and well before television covered golf events. Crosby put up the $10,000 prize money himself, and his goal was to get his Hollywood buddies who loved to play golf to come Rancho Santa Fe Country Club near his home in San Diego and play.They would play in a team format of professionals and amateurs in the tournament. The goal was simple—learn a little about becoming better golfers, and then when the tournament was over, they would have a clambake for the stars and the golfers.This is a great collectable that most people have never seen and is a great conversation piece or desktop display.

THANKSDenny The History Of The Golf TeeThe history of the golf tee dates back to the 1500?s. The practice of getting sand wet with a towel and mounding up earth to get the ball off the ground a little went on for some 300 years. The late 1800?s changed all that. This is the history of the golf tee.The original rules of golf from 1744 state that your ball must be ?teed? from the ground. Golfers where allowed to go within one club length of the original hole and use elements from the ground to tee it up. As time went on the game grew and there was a need to separate putting areas from teeing grounds. The first course to do this was St. Andrews when Old Tom Morris redesigned the course. You could imagine the mess you had with just creating one tee. The wet towel and dirty hands gave way to the first golf tees. Golfers where in search of reuseable tees. Starting with paper then cork and rubber. The world?s first patented golf tee was invented by two Scots: William Bloxsom and Arthur Douglas. Their patent document is dated 1889 and describes a small rubber plate with a raised ball support in the form of upright prongs or a hollow cylinder. This tee sat up on top of the ground and became cumbersome in windy conditions. There had to be a way to fix it to the ground.The first invention to stop your ball from rolling away was the ?Perfectum? The Perfectum was patented in 1892 by Percy Ellis of Surrey, England. It was made of an iron spike base and round rubber pegs to hold the ball in place. The Perfectum was the first tee to be placed in the ground. In 1897, Scottish inventor PM Matthews patented a tee called the ?Vector? with a metal spike and rubber cup to hold the ball which further held the ball in place. The first really famous patent for a golf tee came from inventor Dr. George Grant. A dentist from the Boston area and one of the first black graduates from Harvard Dental School, Grant invented the first American wooden golf tee. The tee consisted of a wooden peg attached to a rubber tube with a cup on the top to hold the ball. Grant designed the tee to be less rigid at the top and more stable at the bottom. Grant didn?t announce , promote, or sell his work and was unnoticed for a long time. Although not the world?s first golf tee Grant was credited by the USGA in 1991 as the original inventor of the wooden golf tee.The first patented and marketed tee was invented by another dentist named Dr. William Lowell. Dr. Lowell?s patented ?Reddy Tee? is the first modern golf tee. The familliar one piece wooden peg with hollowed out top became the standard even today. Dr. Lowell even had golf great Walter Hagen advertising his invention.Although there where many other golf tee inventions, these are the main ones. Technology has brought golf a long way and the golf tee is no exception. What?s next for the golf tee? It?s all up to the Rules of Golf.
