NNNNNN OR PETER OHARA, F OHARA'TOWNSIP, ALLEGHENY COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA.
GOLF-CLUB.
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, PETER Q HARA, a subject of the King of Great Britain, residing in Ohara township, Allegheny county, Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Golf-Club, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming lwith my invention.
part of this specification, in whic Figure 1 is a front elevation of the head of a g'olf club constructed in accordance Fig. 2 .is a top plan view, away.
Fig. 3 is a cross section on the line III--IIII of Fig. 2, and
Fig. i. is a View Simiiaf 'to Fig. s showing the driver.
. portion of the playing face. It also consists in'further details of shape and construction hereinafter referred to and claimed. In the drawings, referring to the form ofFigs. 1,
and is also preferably bulged transversely of the face', as shownin Fig. 3.
The weight 7 which consists'preferably of lead run into a slot in the back face of the club with the usual screw threaded holes extending inwardly ther from, extends for a length at least as longjs the intermediate portion of the playing face. This intermediate portion at the juncture between the wood and the ber is about two and oneei hth inches long.
he object of thus lengthening the load or I wei ht is to cause the ball to. be driven straight ahead, although the club face may strike it toward the outer ends of the curved playing face. The extension of the weight back of the intermediate portion of this face for its entire length causes this desired action. At the saine time the bulging of the Specication of Letters Patent.

face causes a less amount vof thel surface of thelplaying ball to contact with the club as it fiat-tens at the moment of impact, and thus lengthens' the drive.
I also preferably make the club head longer and narrower than in the usual prac-y tice with wooden clubs, the playing face being preferably two and one-half inches long at a point midway of its height, and the total width of the club being preferably not over approximately two and one quarter inches.
In Fig. 4 I show the driver, which is the same in general as the brassy, except for the brass late.
In loading the brassy, however, I preferably extend the loading downwardly and inwardly, as shown in Fig. 3, to give more lift to the ball; while in the driver I preferably extend the loading upwardly, as shown in Fig. 4, to give a top spin to the ball and cause it to run farther after it strikes the ground.
The convex playing face also tends to givethe correct spin to the ball and corrects slicing, and the length of the face also aids inthis action. If the ball is hit. on the toe of the club there is sufiicient weight behind this portion to prevent slicing.
The advantages of my invention will be obvious to golf players, as a better spin is given to the ball, there is less vtendency to slicing and pulling the ball, and better accuracy afforded.
I claim: v l.- A wooden golf club head having a play? ing face bulged both longitudinally. and transversely, the back side of the head having a weight extending for a distanceat least approximately equal -to the' intermediate portion of the playing face, substantially as. described.
2. A wooden golf club head having a playing facel bulged both longitudinally and transversely, the back side of the head having a weight extending alongi-ts face for avdistance at least approximately equal to `the intermediate portion of 1the pkaying face, the length of the playing face at its mid-height being at least two and one-half inches, substantially as described.
3. A wooden golf club head haying a playing face bulged both longitudinally and transversely, the back side of the head hav' ing a weight extending along its face for a`A "distance at least approximately equal to the intermediate portion of the playing face, the length of the playing face at its midheight being at least two and one-half inches, and the Width of the club being not over approximately two and one-quarter inches, substantially as described.
4. A wooden golf club head having a back weight extending into the head of the club at an angle to the horizontal, substantially 10 as described.
5. A wooden golf club head having a ber bottom plate anda back weight extending into the club head at an angle to the horizontal, substantially as described. 15
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set m hand.
y PETER OHARA.
