A method for manufacturing a golf club head, comprising:
- preparing a golf club head body with at least one assembling opening provided on at least one of a crown portion, a sole portion, a rear portion, and a skirt portion of the body, with a perimeter wall of said at least one assembling opening including an outwardly projecting perimeter flange;
- preparing at least one cover plate and placing said at least one cover plate in said at least one assembling opening;
- forming a plurality of spot welding points along a joint area between said at least one cover plate and the perimeter wall of said at least one assembling opening by welding;
- applying a brazing material along the joint area between said at least one cover plate and the perimeter wall of said at least one assembling opening;
- melting the brazing material by heating to cause molten brazing material to fill gaps between said at least one cover plate and the perimeter wall of said at least one assembling opening, thereby forming a brazing bonding portion between a pair of the spot welding points adjacent to each other;
- and
- removing the outwardly projecting perimeter flange after formation of the brazing bonding portions;
- wherein the outwardly projecting perimeter flange prevents the brazing material from flowing out of the perimeter wall of said at least one assembling opening.
