Low resistance golf club

Abstract

A golf club head provides a face, a toe, a sole and a neck. A plurality of slots are spaced apart with each of the slots extending from the sole upwardly medially within the head. The slots are in generally parallel correspondence and are uniformly spaced and are uniform in width, where the uniform slot width exceeds the uniform slot spacing. The slots have flat side walls, terminate upwardly with a circular surface, and diverge in width from the face to the back of the club, so that they present the least resistance when the club moves through sand.

1 . A golf club apparatus comprising: a shaft and a head, the head fixed to one end of the shaft; the head providing a face, a toe, a sole and a neck; a plurality of vertical slots in spaced apart correspondence; each of the slots extending divergently from the face rearwardly within the head to the back of the club, said slots being open to the face, sole and the back of the club.  
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the slots are in generally parallel correspondence.  
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the slots extend from the sole medially into the head.  
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the slots are uniformly spaced with uniform width.  
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 4  wherein the uniform slot width exceeds the slot spacing.  
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 3  wherein the slots have flat side walls.  
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 6  wherein the slots each terminate with a circular surface.
