Abstract: A molded golf tee prepared by molding a molding material composed of sand and at least a predetermined quantity of binder in a mold, the molded golf tee having a concave hollow portion with a predetermined depth from an upper end, is provided. According to this, when the golf tee is hit with a club for hitting a ball, the golf tee including a concave hollow portion breaks into pieces, so that resistance (impact pressure) is reduced when the golf tee is hit with the club.
