Abstract: A golf club for use around a putting green. The club head has an L-shaped configuration that is symmetrical about a vertical axis. The head includes a vertical wall having a horizontally disposed top surface and a horizontal wall extending behind the vertical wall. A center flange is located behind the vertical wall and contains a top surface that is co-planar with the top surface of the vertical wall. A pair of end flanges are located at the toe and heel ends of the horizontal wall immediately behind the front wall. A vertically disposed slot is passed downwardly between the vertical front wall and the three flanges to a depth such that the effective center of mass at the front striking face of the club lies below the center of a golf ball. The shaft of the golf club is passed downwardly into the center flange of the head and is positioned immediately behind the vertical wall of the club at about the effective center of mass.
