Abstract
A gauge for measuring the loft and lie angles of a golf club includes a rod attachable to the golf club with a first pointer mechanism being in alignment with the shaft axis of the golf club. A body is rotatable about the rod into parallel alignment with the sole of the golf club and a first indicator plate is movable with the body and relative to the first pointer mechanism to provide a visual indication of the lie angle of the golf club by showing the angle of rotation of the indicator plate relative to the first pointer mechanism. A face engaging member is pivotally mounted on the body for movement into engagement with the face of the golf club, and a second pointer mechanism is movable with the face engaging member relative to a second indicator plate carried on the body to provide a visual indication of the loft angle of the golf club by showing the angle of rotation of the second pointer mechanism relative to the second indicator plate.
