1. A system for providing a golfer with a golf club having a sighting line which compensates for said golfer'"'"'s natural lateral sighting error with respect to a desired direction for striking a golf ball, said system comprising:
- (a) a golf head;
(b) at least one module bearing said sighting line thereon, said sighting line being intended to compensate for a golfer'"'"'s natural sighting error to either lateral side of said desired direction;
(c) a region on said golf head adapted for receiving said at least one module so that said at least one module may be releasably engaged on said golf head,.whereby a golfer may insert a first module and test the golf club to determine whether the sighting line on said first module adequately compensates for said golfer'"'"'s natural lateral sighting error, whereby said golfer may remove said first module and replace it with a second module having its sighting line disposed at an angle from the desired direction which is different from the angle that the sighting line on said first module is disposed from the desired direction and test the golf club to determine whether the sighting line on said second module adequately compensates for said golfer'"'"'s natural lateral sighting error, and whereby said golfer may continue to remove and replace modules until the module having the sighting line providing adequate correction for said golfer'"'"'s natural lateral sighting error is found; and
(d) means for securing said module having the sighting line providing adequate correction for said golfer'"'"'s natural lateral sighting error to said golf head.

8. A method for making a golf club which provides correction for a golfer'"'"'s natural lateral sighting error with respect to a desired direction for striking a golf ball, said method comprising the steps of:
-
(a) providing a first alignment compensating module, each module bearing thereon a sighting line intended to compensate for said golfer'"'"'s natural lateral sighting error; (b) providing a golf club having a golf head having a region adapted for releasably receiving each module; (c) inserting said first module and having said golfer test the golf club to determine whether the sighting line on said first module adequately compensates for said golfer'"'"'s natural lateral sighting error; (d) removing said first module and replacing it with a second module having its sighting line disposed at an angle from the desired direction which is different from the angle that the sighting line on said first module is disposed from the desired direction and having said golfer test the golf club to determine whether the sighting line on said second module adequately compensates for said golfer'"'"'s is natural lateral sighting error; (e) continuing to remove and replace modules until the module having a sighting line providing adequate correction for said golfer'"'"'s natural lateral sighting error is found; and (f) securing said module having the sighting line providing adequate correction for said golfer'"'"'s natural lateral sighting error to said golf head. - View Dependent Claims (9)
