Not sure but of your making a fresh one do me one too..... There's a good chap!
I'm another who would love to see more bio-degradable tees and lose plastic ones altogether but I'm realistic enough to know it won't happen any time soon and not at all without a real cultural switch. As for a carbon fibre one. Some joke surely. Wooden ones (from sustainable resources) are dirt cheap in bulk. Why pay for a carbon fibre one. How much are they going to be. Cost aside from anything else will be prohibitive and it'll never take off commerically
Why don't you send a couple of us a few tees and we can review them for you. I'd try one but like the others are saying tees cost next to nothing and castle tees are bomb proof so a carbon fibre tee is bringing nothing to the table I'm afraid.

Look at his location for god's sake.
As for the tees, no, stupid idea, would damage mowers. Nothing wrong with wooden tees.

if it cost more than 1p I can't imagine the potential pain in people searching for the damm things instead of just getting on with it!
I'm another who (1) has only ever bought a tee once in 35 years (Oxfam 200 long wod ones for 50p) (2) would only consider buying them if they were bio-degradable.

I normally don't bother looking for tees if I can't see them straight away, but I found a pink castle a few weeks ago and now I will make sure I get it back before moving on. I should really get a pack before I lose it because it makes driving so much more consistent.

I only use wooden tees, if there was a more bio-degradable option I would use it. Im sorry Im out.

Tees are so disposable that it probably isn't worth the hassle, they're about a penny each and if I don't break them I lose them, unless the carbon fibre ones are going to be very cheap (but not as cheap) then I can't see this being viable

Carbon fibre is a posh way of saying glass filled nylon, with a decorative mesh put on it.
Can't see the point.
What's wrong with wood?

You can still snap carbon fiber, it isn't indestructable. It'll likely be prohibitively expensive too.
So, to give you my best Duncan Bannatyne impression, "ahm oot".

Only use a full tee for the driver and that stays where it's put! Iron shots use already broken tees and there's normally dozens of those scattered round anyway!
It's a none starter for me when you can buy 100 wooden tees for £2-3 its hardly breaking the bank!

Its a no from me, surely we should be following the yanks and going for biodegradable, last time I was over there
the tees supplied by the starter were made of recycled corn waste a much better idea,
One thing that irritates me is the time some people take looking for their tee pegs. God knows how slow a game would be if we had a four ball all searching for an expensive carbon fibre tee. Biodegadable tees are a great idea, I hope they are the future.
I definately would not buy a carbon fibre tee peg. I will not spend more than a nano second looking for my wooden tee peg

More than a penny each though, not sure how many tee shots they'll take.....

I'd have to agree that anything biodegrabable is the way forward. I always try to bin any broken parts of tees I use but it isn't always possible.
Compared to the cost of everything else Golf related (clubs, fees etc) the tees don't really have a big impact so don't see any market for an expensive one. Maybe the nouveau riche in China??
