Description: SIGNED by the author The Singular History of the Golf Tee by Irwin R. Valenta, 1st Edition, 1995, Trade Paperback, 154 pages Here is a piece of golf history which has lain dormant in dusty patent archives in London and Arlington, Virginia. For over over a hundred years, writers have overlooked the rich and varied evolution of the portable golf tee. Inspired by the growing tee collection he began in 1926 upon retirement the author set about filling this void. He commissioned a search of the patent files by the London Patent Office, sought the assistance of the U.S. Department of Patents and Documents, and requested, photographed and returned countless unusual tees offered by members of the Golf Collectors Society. Drawings and replicas were made from patent sketches where tees were not available. The historical background of The Reddy Tee was offered by the granddaughter of the tee's inventor and became an integral part of American tee history. The writing of the book took six years Now, with this publication, youngsters beginning their love affair with golf and millions of veteran golfers have the opportunity to enjoy a slice of the game heretofore unavailable.
