A golf putter head includes a face member with a front surface arranged for impacting a golf ball. A first arm extends generally rearwardly from a heel end of the face member, a second arm extends generally rearwardly from a toe end of the face member, and a central member extends rearwardly intermediate the heel and toe ends of the face member. The central member has an inner end adjacent the face member and an outer end spaced from the face member. The central member includes a pair of wings extending in opposite directions at the outer end thereof connecting the central member to the first and second arms rearwardly of the face member. A portion of the central member extends rearwardly of the wings.

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.

A golf putter head includes a face member with a front surface arranged for impacting a golf ball. A first arm extends substantially rearwardly from a heel end of the face member, a second arm extends substantially rearwardly from a toe end of the face member, and a central member extends rearwardly from the face member intermediate the heel and toe ends thereof. The central member is connected to and extends rearwardly from a back surface of the face member. The central member is connected to the first and second arms rearwardly of the face member. The first and second arms have top surfaces that slope downwardly as the first and second arms extend away from the face member.

A first arm extends substantially rearwardly from a heel end of the face member, a second arm extends substantially rearwardly from a toe end of the face member, and a central member extends rearwardly from the face member intermediate the heel and toe ends thereof. The central member is connected to and extends rearwardly from a back surface of the face member. The central member includes a pair of wing portions connecting the central member to the first and second arms rearwardly of the face member. An end portion of the central member extends rearwardly of the wing portions.

In a golf bag that includes a body with a top end and a bottom end, a throat structure is mounted in the top end of the body. The throat structure has a substantially ring shaped outer wall and a raised inner wall extending transversely of the body top end with its opposite ends connected to the outer wall. A first plurality of three divider walls extends between the inner and outer walls to define a first plurality of four individual compartments located along a back portion of the throat structure. Each compartment of the first plurality of individual compartments is adapted for receiving one wood-type golf club. A raised well is located along a front portion of the throat structure opposite the first plurality of individual compartments. The raised well is adapted for receiving a golf putter. A second plurality of two divider walls extends between the raised inner wall and the raised well to define a second plurality of three individual compartments located between the front and back portions of the throat structure. Each compartment of the second plurality of individual compartments is adapted for receiving a plurality of iron-type golf clubs.

A golf putter head includes a face member with a front surface arranged for impacting a golf ball. A first arm extends substantially rearwardly from a heel end of the face member, a second arm extends substantially rearwardly from a toe end of the face member, and a central member extends rearwardly from the face member intermediate the heel and toe ends thereof. The central member is connected to the first and second arms rearwardly of the face member. A first cavity is formed in an upper surface of the central member between the first and second openings, and a second cavity is formed in the upper surface of the central member rearwardly of the first cavity and rearwardly of the first and second openings. First and second inserts are disposed, respectively, in the first and second cavities. The first cavity and the first insert each have a generally elongated crescent shape with a concave end while the second cavity and the second insert each have a generally semicircular shape with a convex side. In order to provide a visual alignment aid, the convex sides of the second cavity and the second insert are aligned with and complement the concave ends of the first cavity and the first insert. The first and second inserts have a color which contrasts with the face member, the first and second arms, and the central member to enhance the visual alignment aid.
