Today in history was a milestone for patenting and golfing–Invent Tech inventors hope their product can enjoy success in the golf industry

April 10th, 2006

Invent-Tech’s Sr. Technical Writer here with some interesting history that may be of interest to golf product manufacturers as well as avid players.  It is appropriate to introduce several innovative new golf products today, since the U.S. patent system was established on April 10, 1790 and, on April 10, 1916, the Professional Golfers Association (PGA) held its first championship tournament.

The Scots are credited with originating the modern game of golf in the 15^th century.  The sport was played around sand dunes by hitting a pebble with a stick or club.  Although the concept remains the same, the equipment used to play the game has changed dramatically over the centuries.

For example, the Scots used to hit their ball off of a small mound of dirt or sand.  The golf tee was originally patented by William Bloxsom and Arthur Douglas in 1889.  After several variations in design over the next 33 years, William Lowell patented and sold the “Reddy Tee” in 1922, which has become the standard in the sport.  Two Invent-Tech inventors hope their inventions will become the next widespread industry success to improve the game of golf, enjoying similar success to Lowell’s “Reddy Tee.”

The Golf Training Aid, invented by David R. and John M., offers a simple method of improving a golfer’s putting skills. It teaches precise movements and adjustments that will greatly improve a player’s visualization ability.

With the help of this product, correct positioning will become second-nature. Every golfer knows that fine-tuning putting skills is critical to their overall game and impressing their playing partners, indicating the potential for the Golf Training Aid to be a huge success on the market.

Invented by David P, Dewoff, eliminates a common complaint of golfers who tee off after a nighttime downpour or afternoon shower. It provides a secure location to set down a club when the ground is wet, keeping the handle dry, in a compact design that fits in the user’s pocket.

For granting simple convenience on the green, Dewoff golfers who wish to maintain their clubs in the utmost condition will bring this accessory along on every outing. With its highly noticeable features, Dewoff ensures the user never forgets it or their club on the course. Dewoff is affordably priced and convenient, making it indispensable to the vast market of golfers at any level.

These original ideas are now available for licensing to manufacturers interested in new product development. The inventors hope to have their inventions in full production and available to the public in the very near future.
