A golf club having a head equipped with a compound shaft, such head having a face portion and the compound shaft having lower and upper ends, with the lower end of the compound shaft attached to the club head. The upper end of the compound shaft has dual, spaced-apart upper portions that can be separated only for a limited extent, with a rotatable handle being disposed between the upper portions of the compound shaft. This rotatable handle is disposed parallel to the face portion of the club head, whereby a golfer holding the rotatable handle with one hand in a perpendicular relationship to the golf ball is able to swing with his other hand, the face portion of the head toward the ball in a highly accurate, well-aimed manner. A spring may optionally be utilized for biasing the upper portions together, so that the rotatable handle will be properly supported.
