Abstract
A biodegradable golf tee made from compressed rendered animal meal. The rendered animal meal comprises rendered animal by-products from processed meats and fish. After rendering the animal by-product and drying the material is ground to a fine powder or meal. The rendered animal meal is compressed at room temperature in the form of a golf tee. A corn starch adhesive is sprayed on the surface of the biodegradable golf tee to add strength and protect the biodegradable golf tee from humidity. The biodegradable golf tee will decompose after direct contact with water in the form of dew or rain.
