Golf club head and a method for producing the same

A method for producing a golf club head having a plurality of pieces including a face piece, a rear piece and a hosel for holding a shaft;

• said face piece including a face section and a rear section extending from the face section and coupled to the rear piece;
• said rear piece including a sole section and a crown section;
• said hosel extending sideways from both the face and the rear sections, the method comprising the steps of
• preparing an iron-type material of a chemical composition containing 0.05 to 0.35% by weight of C, 0.40% by weight or less of Si, 2.20% by weight or less of Mn, 4.00% by weight or less of Ni, 3.0% by weight or less of Cr, 1.00% by weight or less of Mo, 0.10% by weight or less of Nb, 0.10% by weight or less of Al, 0.02% by weight or less of P, 0.01% by weight or less of S, 1.50% by weight or less of Cu, 0,001% by weight or less of B, 0.01% by weight or less of N and Fe with indispensable impurities in balance,
• annealing said iron-type material at a temperature from 650.degree. to 750.degree. C. to form an intermediate product of said golf club head, shaping said intermediate product into a prescribed configuration to form a shaped product resembling at least one of the plurality of pieces of said golf club head, and
• quenching said shaped product to form an end product of said golf club head.
