ABSTRACT:
A golf club of the type for putting and driving a golf ball. The golf club has a reflective surface which is positionable to direct toward a golfer's eye an alignment image including an image of the ball and the target into which the ball is directed so as to aid the golfer in positioning the head of the golf club relative to the ball. The reflective surface is removable from the head so as to be stowed when not in use. The golf club also includes a leveling device in the head of the club to indicate to the golfer when the head is aligned horizontally. The golf club further includes a first striking surface with a tilted striking surface portion for imparting spin to the golf ball, and a second striking surface opposite the first for directing the ball in an upward trajectory. The tilted striking surface may include a flat central portion and an adjacent flat end portion, both of which contact the golf ball. Third and fourth striking surfaces are positioned between the first and second striking surfaces at opposite ends of the head. To strike the ball with the third or fourth striking surfaces, the golfer positions himself behind the ball and astride a desired path between the ball and the target.
