ABSTRACT:
An improved golf club head for use in sand and water hazards present on golf courses. The club head contains an array of apertures disposed in vertical spaced relationship. The apertures provide ample opening through the head for passage of sand to materially reduce the resistance of sand or water thereon when striking a golf ball. The bottom of the club head includes a broad mass of material that has a slightly curved lower surface which extends laterally from a curved front edge to a curved rear edge that is wider and thicker than the top. The rear edge curve continues on upward and foreward whereby it merges into the rear face along a longitudinal line approximately 1/3 of the distance to the top surface. The upper surface of the mass slopes upward in a concave curve at a connection with the front face adjacent to the front edge to the rear face adjacent to the longitudinal line. The upward slope of the upper surface is at angle with the front edge that when the club head strikes the golf ball a large amount of sand is scooped up and passed through the apertures resulting in a reduction of sand drag and an increase in efficiency in lofting the ball up on the greens.
