My tee of choice is a composite “brush” tee with plastic base. On average I probably play around 50+ rounds before they break resulting. If it breaks, which is hardly ever I throw it away. I would prefer to see most plastic tees banned and wood tees only allowed for iron shots as they clutter the course and no one picks them up.

I use plastic tees both for regular holes and par threes and always pick mine up. Can't say the same about many with wooden tees as I see them laying around both on the course and the driving range. Plastic tees last longer and I have rarely seen one laying around. If I see one I pick it up and may use it sometime. There are too many wooden tees laying around to pick up. It would take up too much time out of the round. Every par three is littered with half tees. Broken tees are usually just left on the other holes. Makes no sense to ban plastic tees.

I used the same Martini tee all last season and a third of this. The only reason I have a new one is because I forgot to pick it up. Did it ruin the environment, no whoever found it picked it up and still uses it. Regular tees break, and people don’t police them because they have a bag full. Don’t despair- I use the broken ones on par threes.

I am old school and always have use the wooden tees. They last long enough and when broken I use them on par three's if they are long enough. I guess I maximize there use. I never leave a tee inthe teeing area.

Played on Maui 5 years ago, and the course supplied tees made of (compressed) cornstarch. I found them a little flexible, and they don't break as often as wooden tees. Plastic tees do break sometimes, but more often I see them left behind by golfers that don't consider it a necessity to clean up after themselves. Same with wooden tees. Considering the cost of everything else in the game, buying a few biodegradable tees would seem incidental.

I prefer plastic tees because I was always breaking the wooden tees. I ALWAYS pick up my tee.

I LOVE THEM AS I ONLY BREAK ONE ABOUT EVERY THIRD ROUND, THUS VERY COST EFFECTIVE.

Could tee be made of a hardened fertiliser that would be beneficial when left on the ground.

I prefer a good quality wood tee.. Gotta agree with Crenshaw about picking them up too.

Instead of a ban, why not collect yours and any others you see.
on the same lines as repair your pitch mark as well as any you see.
