| 词源 | tee. The first tees were just small handfuls of sand or dirt off which golf balls were hit. The Scottish word was first recorded in 1673 as teaz, but people thought this was the plural of tee and over the years tee became the singular form. The little wooden pegs we call tees today were invented by New Jersey dentist William Lowell in the 1920s. |
