Tom Vardon (1872-1942) hitting a tee ball, 1909.  The brother of golfing icon Harry, Tom was a fair player in his own right.  From 1892 to 1909 he played in 14 British Opens, finishing in the top-10 eight times.  His best was a second place finish to brother Harry in 1903 at Prestwick.  Tom served as professional at White Bear Yacht Club, Minnesota, from 1916-37, the year Harry died.  Notice the tee box, which held sand and water for molding tees to perch the ball on.  Wooden tees were invented in 1899, but didn't come into widespread use until the 1920's.  No. 2 here was a 343 yard "bogey" 4.  In the old days, "bogey" was the figure that a good golfer was expected to take on a given hole.  A few years later, with the advent of the handicapping system in the U.S., it was supplanted by "par."
