Abstract
A golf club preferably in the form of a golf putter includes a hard stainless steel club head having a striking surface for contacting a golf ball with a recess formed therein. A softer brass plate and an advertising insert closely fit within the recess, and are covered by transparent epoxy which hardens to form a portion of the striking surface through which advertising printed on the insert is visible. The club head further includes a rear recess behind the front recess, between which is defined a thin perforated wall. The stainless steel body, the brass plate, the transparent epoxy, and the perforated wall provide a golf putter which has a large sweet spot and which provides for advertising.
