Abstract
A bulge putter has a substantially flat base which is curved upwardly at longitudinal ends and which is sloped slightly upwardly and rearwardly from a front lower edge of the putter. A face extends upwardly and slightly rearwardly from the lower forward edge of the putter. A first portion of the face near a hosel end of the face is substantially flat. A second portion of the face, which extends outward toward a toe of the putter remote from the hosel, is curved outward and rearward for directing a ball struck with a putter face in an intended line of roll when the putter is moved off center and is swung in an inexact arc.
