In a preferred embodiment, the relief image having an aesthetic appearance is formed on the club head by casting or forging during the manufacturing process of the club head.

The relief (relief) pattern (4) is formed integrally with the metal of the head (1) from the cavity surface (5).

In this case, the picture is a pattern of an animal such as a run-on, but in the embodiment of the present invention, each of the other irons in the set including the illustrated 3-iron is a different animal as shown in FIG. Relief pattern. As is apparent from the above description, the relief pattern is preferably formed integrally with the club head during casting or forging.

In this case, when the club is stored in the bag in a normal orientation, that is, when the club is observed in the inverted position, different patterns are arranged on the back of the club head so that the different patterns can be observed in the normal standing position. It is contemplated that special pleasure or at least fascinating features are added to the set of golf clubs according to the present invention. However, since the putter (6) shown in FIG. 4 is covered by the cover at the normal inverted position in the bag, the animal relief image (7) is used in such a state that the putter head is at the lowest position.
