An adjustable putter (60) having an elongated straight shaft (64) terminating in an adjustable swivel linkage which mates with a corresponding adjustable swivel linkage which is affixed to a hosel (70), which is in turn connected to a putter head (62), thereby providing adjustment in a plane which is parallel to the hitting face (63) of the putter head. Such an adjustability feature enables the golfer to vary the angle of the shaft (64) relative to the putter head (62), while complying with golf regulations such as those disseminated by the U.S. Golf Association. In a preferred embodiment hereof, a tool (40) for permitting the adjustement of the putter is stored in the top of the gripping portion (16) of the shaft. A preferred embodiment is implemented with a gear linkage (68) comprising a shaft gear member (72) provided with a gear (80) that mates with a gear (82) attached to a hosel (70), the linkage having an external diameter that is no greater than the hosel of the putter head.
