RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001]The present application is based on, and claims priority from, Taiwan Application Serial Number 95207044, filed Apr. 25, 2006, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to scented wood or iron type golf club heads. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002]Various golf club heads have been designed to enhance their value for golfers. However, most commercially available golf clubs are designed for male golfers. [0003]Therefore, there is still room for improving golf club heads, particularly in terms of meeting the particular needs of female golfers. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0004]Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a scented golf club head to create additional value of golf club for female golfers. [0005]An iron type or wood type golf club head having features of the present invention generally comprises a faceplate portion and a main body. The faceplate portion has a front striking surface for striking a golf ball and a rear surface opposing to the front striking surface. The main body includes a top portion forming an upper part of the scented golf club head, a sole portion forming a lower part of the scented golf club head, a toe portion forming a forepart of the scented golf club head; a heel portion forming a rear part of the scented golf club head; and a hosel portion adapted to be fastened to a shaft. [0006]To achieve the above listed and other objects, a cavity or an opening is formed in the main body for receiving a scented insert. Note that the scented insert includes perfume such that the insert is capable of emitting fragrance over a predetermined period of time thereby increasing the value of the golf club head. [0007]The scented insert may be designed as a weight member, a badge or a shock-absorbing member. The scented insert may be formed by a conventional casting or pressing, and joined to the main body of the golf club head by inlaying, welding or adhesive bonding so that the golf club head is capable of emitting fragrance thereby increasing its value. [0008]When the scented insert is designed as a weight member, it is preferably made of plastic or rubber, metal powders (such as tungsten) and non-toxic perfume (such as essential oil). When the scented insert is designed as a shock-absorbing member, it is preferably made of elastomer and non-toxic perfume (such as essential oil). [0009]The golf club heads of the present invention have scented insert provided in the main body thereof, and therefore are capable of emitting fragrance thereby increasing its value, especially for female golfers. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0010]Other objects, advantages, and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing: [0011]FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a scented golf club head according to one embodiment of the present invention; [0012]FIG. 2 is a front view of the scented golf club head of FIG. 1; [0013]FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of a scented golf club head according to another embodiment of the present invention; [0014]FIG. 4 is a front view of a scented golf club head according to another embodiment of the present invention; and [0015]FIG. 5 is a front view of a scented golf club head according to another embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT [0016]While the present invention is susceptible of embodiment in various forms, there are presently preferred embodiments shown in the drawings and will hereinafter be described with the understanding that the present disclosure is to be considered as an exemplification of the invention and is not intended to limit the invention to the specific embodiment illustrated. [0017]Now, embodiments of the present invention are described with reference to the drawings. FIGS. 1 and 2 show a scented golf club head 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention. This scented golf club head 100 is an iron type golf club head including a faceplate portion 110 and a main body 120 made of metal (such as pure titan, a titan alloy, an aluminum alloy or a magnesium alloy). The faceplate portion 110 and the main body 120 may be integrally formed during a casting or molding operation. Alternatively, the scented golf club head of the present invention may be manufactured by integrally casting a main body having a faceplate-fitting opening by a lost wax method, fitting a faceplate in the opening, and welding the faceplate to the main body. If a welding process is conducted, the welded product may be further subjected to grinding and/or age hardening. The faceplate to be welded to the main body may be formed by casting or pressing. [0018]The main body 120 includes a top portion 122 forming an upper part of the scented golf club head, a sole portion 123 forming a lower part of the scented golf club head, a toe portion 124 forming a forepart of the scented golf club head; a heel portion 126 forming a rear part of the scented golf club head; and a hosel portion 128 adapted to be fastened to a shaft 127.
