Strike face of a golf club head with integral indicia and border

A golf club head, comprising:

• a body having a strike surface and a cavity with a sidewall formed therein;
• a strike face insert having a first layer and a second layer mated together disposed in said cavity, wherein said first and second layers are of different colors;
• a raised border extending around an outside edge of said first layer, wherein an inside periphery of said raised border defines a recess within said first layer configured to receive said second layer, and wherein an outside periphery of said raised border is configured to substantially abut the side wall of said cavity;
• and
• raised indicia formed on said first layer extending into said recess and being received in said second layer, wherein said strike face insert is secured into said cavity such that said indicia and border and said second layer are exposed at the strike surface.

A golf club head, comprising:

• a body having a strike surface and a cavity therein, said cavity defined within said strike surface;
• a strike face insert having a first layer and a second layer mated together, wherein said first and second layers are of different colors, said strike face insert being secured in said cavity with both said first and second layers having exposed surfaces that are flush with said strike surface and present at least one seam between said first layer, second layer and body at said strike surface;
• and
• an adhesive securing said second layer to at least one of said first layer and said body, said adhesive extending to and being exposed at said at least one seam, said adhesive having a color the same as one of said layers such that said adhesive exposed at said at least one seam blends in appearance with one of said layers.

A method of making a golf club head with a strike face insert, said method comprising:

• forming a first layer with at least one projection extending therefrom including a border formed around one side of said first layer;
• forming a second layer configured to mate with said first layer;
• applying adhesive between the first and second layers;
• and
• placing the second layer within the border of the first layer;
• mating said first and said second layer together, thereby forming said strike face insert;
• securing said strike face insert into a cavity in the golf club head;
• machining off the strike face including the insert to reveal said at least one projection such that said at least one projection, said second layer and said strike surface are all substantially flush.
