Abstract: A golf club may have a head including a generally planar face and a sole and a shaft including a first curve and a second curve. The lower end of the shaft may be inserted into a hosel opening disposed on the head behind the plane of the face. The first and second curves may be structured to enable a golfer's hands to remain slightly forward of a leading edge of the head when the golf club is held with the sole in a resting position.

Abstract: A dual function golf club enables a golfer using the club to utilize a putting stroke when on the green or when extracting a golf ball from the fringe or rough around the putting green and the green side bunkers.
