Abstract
Embodiments of golf clubs and methods to manufacture golf clubs are generally described herein. In one example, a golf club may include a club head coupled to a shaft. The club head may include a body portion having an interior cavity, a front portion, a rear portion, a toe portion, a heel portion, a bottom portion, a crown portion with an opening, a polymer insert in the interior cavity, and a non-metal cover portion coupled to the crown portion to cover the opening. Other examples and embodiments may be described and claimed.

A golf club comprising:
- a shaft;
- a club head coupled to the shaft, the club head comprising:
- a body portion having an interior cavity, a front portion, a rear portion, a toe portion, a heel portion, a bottom portion, and a crown portion, the crown portion having an opening;
- a polymer insert in the interior cavity, the polymer insert in contact with an inner surface of the bottom portion;
- and
- a non-metal cover portion coupled to the crown portion to cover the opening, the non-metal cover portion comprising:
- a top layer comprising a composite material;
- a middle layer adjacent to the top layer, the middle layer comprising a polymer material;
- and
- a bottom layer adjacent to the middle layer, the bottom layer comprising a composite material.
A golf club comprising:
- a shaft;
- a club head coupled to the shaft, the club head comprising:
- a body portion having an interior cavity, a front portion, a rear portion, a toe portion, a heel portion, a bottom portion, and a crown portion, the crown portion having a recess;
- a polymer insert in the interior cavity, the polymer insert in contact with an inner surface of the bottom portion;
- and
- a non-metal cover portion coupled to the crown portion within the recess, the non-metal cover portion comprising:
- a top layer comprising a composite material;
- a middle layer adjacent to the top layer, the middle layer comprising a polymer material;
- and
- a bottom layer adjacent to the middle layer, the bottom layer comprising a composite material.
A golf club comprising:
- a shaft;
- a club head coupled to the shaft, the club head comprising:
- a body portion having an interior cavity, a front portion, a rear portion, a toe portion, a heel portion, a bottom portion, and a crown portion, the crown portion having a first opening and a second opening separated by a reinforcement portion;
- a polymer insert in the interior cavity, the polymer insert in contact with an inner surface of the bottom portion;
- a first non-metal cover portion coupled to the crown portion to cover the first opening, the first non-metal cover portion comprising a first composite top layer, a first polymer middle layer adjacent to the first composite top layer, and a first composite bottom layer adjacent to the first polymer middle layer;
- and
- a second non-metal cover portion coupled to the crown portion to cover the second opening, the second non-metal cover portion comprising a second composite top layer, a second polymer middle layer adjacent to the second composite top layer, and a second composite bottom layer adjacent to the second polymer middle layer.
