  • Patent number: 11938382
    Abstract: A method of making a golf club head includes the steps of providing a face of a club head, the face having a ball striking surface and a perimeter defining a border of the ball striking surface, providing a golf club head body that includes a crown, a sole, a toe, and a heel, attaching the face to a front portion of the club head body, and milling the ball striking surface and an edge portion of the face to cut a machined surface into the ball striking surface and the edge portion. The milled surface includes a plurality of first grooves located along the ball striking surface and defining a first depth, and a plurality of second grooves located adjacent the perimeter along the edge portion and defining a second depth. The first depth is different than the second depth.

That is, a hardening agent taken from the class consisting of corn gluten feed or corn steep liquor, or both, may be used to provide for hardening the feed block. The first materials to be placed in a mixer include molasses and hot water. The mixer is started, and then the clay is added to keep the ingredients in suspension. Next, animal fat, vitamins, and other ingredients are added to the mixer, after which the mixture is brought to a temperature in the range of about 140.degree. F. to 175.degree. F. at which time magnesium oxide, and vegetable matter are added with the mixer running. Then, all of the ingredients are mixed until the mixture reaches a temperature in the range of 140.degree.
