A method of joining dissimilar metal, golf club components, and particularly golf club bodies, hosels, and faces, using a projection resistance welding process is disclosed herein. The method may include the step of applying an interlayer material before the projection resistance weld process occurs.

A plurality of aluminum materials overlapped with each other are sandwiched between electrodes for spot welding. After main energization to form a nugget between the aluminum materials sandwiched between the electrodes, pulsation energization in which energization and stop of the energization are repeated a plurality of times is performed. A current value in the pulsation energization is set to be greater than a current value of the main energization, the energization and stop of the energization are repeated at least three times in the pulsation energization, and an energization stop period is increased from a first half of the pulsation energization to a second half of the pulsation energization.
