Abstract: A golf club head includes a body having a front face with a cavity formed therein. The cavity has at least one aperture passing through the cavity bottom wall to the rear surface of the club head body. A face insert is installed in the cavity by applying an adhesive layer between the face insert and the bottom of the cavity. As the face insert is pressed into the cavity, air and any excess adhesive escapes through the aperture to the rear surface of the club where it can easily be removed by wiping with solvent.
