Abstract: A golf club includes a club head 12 mounted on a shaft 14 of a golf club 10 at a hosel 16 of the club head 12, the club head 12 having a face 18 including a plurality of grooves 20 formed on a surface thereof and extending substantially across a width of the face 18, a back 22 and a sole 24 extending between a lower edge 27 of the back 22 and a leading edge 28 of the face 18, the sole 24 defining a heal portion 36, a toe portion 38, and a center portion 26, wherein the sole 24 of the golf club 10 at the center portion 26 behind the lowest point 30 of the leading edge 28 is such that the center portion 26 extends substantially above the lowest point 30 of the leading edge 28 at an angle relative to a generally horizontal surface H at address when the heel portion 36 and toe portion 38 contact therewith and the hosel 16 being relatively normal to the surface.

Abstract: A golf putter head dimensioned to closely simulate the size of a regulation-sized golf hole and including at least an indicium approximating the size of a golf ball, whereby a golfer is presented with a visual representation of the size of the target at which he/she is aiming. The golf putter head further indicia for indicating a direction of initial travel of the ball. Further, the golf putter head includes three-dimensional indicia to assist the golfer in properly aligning his/her eyes and hands above the golf putter head while addressing the golf ball to be struck. When the golfer is in a proper stance the three-dimensional indicia substantially “disappear.

Abstract: A golf putter, ball retriever and retainer configured to retrieve and hold a golf ball. The putter defines a substantially symmetrical configuration from heel to toe. The ball retriever and retainer is defined by a spherical recess formed in the sole of the putter and an opening defined on the top surface thereof. At least one resilient tab is defined in the sole to enlarge the sole opening. Ball alignment indicia are disposed on the top surface of the golf putter head, the ball alignment indicia defining at least a C-shaped configuration, whereby a ball is visually aligned between said first and second ends to center the ball on said striking face. The ball alignment indicia may further include at least one line segment disposed coincidentally to the initial direction of travel of the golf ball.

Abstract: A golf putter, ball retriever and retainer configured to retrieve and hold a golf ball. The putter defines a substantially symmetrical configuration from heel to toe. The ball retriever and retainer is defined by a spherical recess formed in the sole of the putter and an opening defined on the top surface thereof. The spherical recess is further defined by an opening on the sole of the putter, the sole opening defining a diameter slightly less than the diameter of a conventional golf ball. In order to receive a golf ball into the ball retriever and retainer, at least one resilient tab is defined in the sole to enlarge the sole opening. The top surface of the putter defines a shaft retriever proximate the trailing edge for engaging a golf club shaft or flag for lifting the same from the ground.

Abstract: A flashlight holder for use with a conventional hart hat to releasably receive a flashlight of the type defining a faceted barrel and a head which is rotatable relative to the barrel for operation of the flashlight. The flashlight holder is designed such that a flashlight is operable with one hand when retained in the flashlight holder. The flashlight holder defines a barrel support secured to a base. The barrel support defines an interior surface and a slot configured to cooperate to closely receive and retain the flashlight barrel in a non-rotatable manner. The base of the flashlight holder defines a tab configured to be releasably engaged within a slotted receptacle defined by the hard hat. A locking projection extends from the tab for engaging a lower edge of the hard hat.

Abstract: A flashlight holder assembly for releasably receiving a flashlight of the type having head rotatable with respect to a barrel for operation thereof. The barrel of the flashlight defines a faceted exterior surface. The holder defines a barrel support and a base. The barrel support defines a faceted internal surface and a slot which cooperate to closely receive the barrel such that the barrel is retained in the barrel support in a non-rotatable manner. The base defines a base plate to which the barrel support is secured. In one embodiment, the holder includes a clip which extends from the base plate and is positioned below the base plate and cooperates with the base plate to receive and retain the periphery of an article therein.
