Abstract: A golf tee made from peat moss admixed with a water soluble binder in an amount sufficient to bond the peat moss together in a coherent and rigid body by cold or hot pressure forming is disclosed. The water soluble binder may be a lignosulphonate in an amount up to 50%, preferably about 10 to 30%, by weight of the composition. The composition preferably has a moisture content of 5 to 22%, preferably 9 to 18%, by weight. The water soluble binder may be a water soluble polymer in an amount of 3 to 20%, preferably 5 to 15% and more preferably 8 to 10% by weight of the composition.
