• Notes

  Coburn Haskell of Cleveland, Ohio, was a dental surgeon and an avid golfer. He invented and patented the modern golf ball which has a core of wound rubber instead of the former gutta-percha core. The Haskell golf ball was patented 11 April 1899, and he then organized the Haskell Golf Ball Company which revolutionized the manufacture and design of golf balls. Because of its greater distance, the Haskell ball reduced scores and helped to increase the popularity of golf. The Haskell company was sold to other companies, including the A. G. Spalding Co. Coburn was also known as a lover of music and art and collector of books. His death date is from the Ohio Death Certificate Index 1913-1927, Certificate No. 62609. An alternate death date is 14 December 1922. _____ Patent 622834 - Bertram G. Work and Coburn Haskell - Ball
