A golf putter or driver of improved accuracy, having a retractable spike member adapted to be inserted into the sod of the green or fairway to hold the club temporarily unattended in upright position next to the ball to be struck. The golfer may then visually check the club alignment from a vantage point and correct it by rotating the club. The spike is then manually withdrawn from the sod without moving the club and the putt or drive then made. The spike is housed within the hollow shaft of the club and passes through an aligned bore provided through the club head. At the upper end of the elongate spike, a knob or the like is provided for extending and retracting the spike. According to one aspect of the invention, a spring may be incorporated inside the stem to aid in withdrawing the spike from the sod.
