 George Grant
George F. Grant knew what most of us have come to recognize - the average golfer is a hacker, destroying grass courses and terrorizing other golfers, homeowners and passersby with wild, dangerous drives.
Although he loved the game, he grew frustrated trying to keep the ball from rolling away from him as he attempted to tee off and did not want to swing at the ball while it was moving, thus sending off a wild shot.
The tee was made of a small wooden peg with a concave piece of rubber on top to hold the ball and in addition to helping with control over the direction of the shot, it also aided in promoting longer drives.

 Woods at the Morris Arboretum
Woods are a bit different; they can develop into a forest eventually, but in the Philadelphia area, historically people have logged their woods at least every hundred years, so the forest has not been allowed to regenerate.
Small areas of woods are sometimes referred to as "wood lots", and are periodically harvested for their timber, then allowed to regenerate for a few decades, harvested again, and so on.
Woods can be viewed as forests in their teenage years; they resemble the mature forest in some respects, but they're not quite old enough to be truly called forests.

 George Graham Reviews Mitch Woods' "Jump for Joy"
Brooklyn-born Mitch Woods, who will be 50 this year, started out on classical piano, but he found himself smitten by the boogie-woogie piano when a man his parents hired to take him to school made a stop at a cousin's place where young Mitch heard someone playing boogie-woogie piano.
Woods formed his Rocket 88's in 1980, and have been releasing a steady, though rather infrequent stream of albums, combining Woods' strong boogie-woogie piano style, his increasingly confident vocals, and his songwriting that often tended toward humorous lyrics in the Louis Jordan tradition.
Woods likes to point out that what is experiencing a revival is actually jump-band music in the tradition of Louis Jordan from the 1940s and early 1950s, rather than the pure swing of the 1930s.
