The golf club head further includes a sole portion, a top portion, a rear portion, and a loft L no less than 40°. A virtual vertical plane perpendicular to the striking face plane passes through the face center. A club head center of gravity is spaced from the virtual vertical plane in the heel-to-toe direction by a distance Dthat is no greater than 6.0 mm. The golf club head further includes a hosel including an internal bore configured to receive a golf shaft.
