#24: Dr. George Grant – The Golf Tee
Sometimes in life, we end up making a difference in people’s lives in the most unexpected ways. Just because we start out doing something specific in a specific field doesn’t mean that we are going to end up working towards this one thing our entire lives. Often, it is the places we least expect to have an impact where we end up having our greatest achievements.

Can you imagine being a renowned dentist in the Harvard Dental community and creating a life-changing contraption that has nothing to do with dentistry? Well, that’s exactly what African American Dr. George Grant did when he patented the first Golf Tee. While his invention has gained worldwide success and praise, he has also received praise for his inventions in dentistry.
