(54) GOLF CLUB HAVING AN ADJUSTABLE WEIGHT ASSEMBLY


(57) A golf club head includes a body, a recessed channel, and a weight assembly. The weight assembly has a weight, a cover, and a fastener coupling the cover to the body. The cover includes a first end, a second end, and a rabbet extending at least partially between the first end and the second end. The rabbet formed by at least two walls and sized and shaped to at least partially receive the weight and allow the weight to slide therein. One or more of the at least two walls have a retention rib extending therefrom. The retention rib is elongated in a direction between the first end and the second end and discontinuous in the elongated direction. The fastener is configured to move the cover between at least two positions, a first position whereby the weight is selectively slidable and a second position whereby the weight is secured.
