Abstract
A golf club that is used to practice a golf swing. Specifically, the golf club includes a handle and a head coupled to the handle. The head is formed from a first portion and a second portion that are coupled together. The first portion may be formed of a rigid material and the second portion may be formed of a resilient material. The second portion may comprise bristles or some other soft, pliable, compressible material that will not damage a surface upon contact during swinging the golf club. The golf club head preferably has the same shape as a traditional golf club head of the same type. However, the second portion forms the sole of the head, thereby eliminating the potential for damage to a floor surface during swinging of the golf club.
