A golf club with a shaft angularly adjustable relative to the head through selected angles comprising:
- a club head having an open central area, a bottom surface and a top surface;
- a removable sole plate forming a portion of the bottom surface of said club head, said sole plate having upstanding spaced apart walls extending within said club head open area;
- an opening through the top surface of said head extending into said open area;
- a club shaft, said club shaft having an extension arm angularly attached to a distal end, said distal end of said shaft and said extension arm extending through said opening, said extension arm having a distal end pivotably attached between said upstanding walls;
- locking means at said distal end of said extension arm for preventing relative rotation between said upstanding walls and said extension arm when said sole plate is in place forming the bottom surface of said club thereby maintaining a selected relative angle between said surface of said club head and said shaft;
