Golf club heads and methods to manufacture golf club heads
Embodiments of golf club heads and methods to manufacture golf club heads are generally described herein. In one example, a golf club head may include a body portion with a toe portion, a heel portion, a top portion, a sole portion, a back portion, and a front portion having a face portion with a face portion thickness extending between a front surface and a back surface. The body portion may be associated with a body portion volume. The golf club head may also include an interior cavity. The interior cavity may include an elastic polymer material. Other examples and embodiments may be described and claimed.

wherein a distance between the second port and the toe portion edge is substantially less than a distance between the second port and the hosel portion.
2. A golf club head as defined in claim 1 , wherein the first port wall is separated from the face portion by a first distance, wherein the second port wall is separated from the face portion by a second distance, and wherein the second distance is greater than or equal to three times the first distance.
3. A golf club head as defined in claim 1 , wherein a distance between the first port and the top portion edge is less than a distance between the first port and the horizontal midplane, and wherein a distance between the second port and the sole portion edge is less than a distance between the second port and the horizontal midplane.
4. A golf club head as defined in claim 1 further comprising a third port above the horizontal midplane, wherein a distance between the third port and the toe portion edge is less than a distance between the first port and the toe portion edge.
5. A golf club head as defined in claim 1 further comprising a third port below the horizontal midplane and connected to the interior cavity, wherein a distance between the third port and the hosel portion is less than a distance between the third port and the toe portion edge.
6. A golf club head comprising:
a hollow body portion having a toe portion with a toe portion edge, a hosel portion, a top portion with a top portion edge, a sole portion with a sole portion edge, a back portion with a back wall portion, and a front portion;
a face portion coupled to the hollow body portion enclosing the front portion to create an interior cavity;
a first port located on the back wall portion and above a horizonal midplane of the body portion, the first port having a first port opening at one end of the first port and a first port wall on an opposite end of the first port;
a second port below the horizontal midplane;
a first mass portion; and
a second mass portion,
wherein a height of the second mass portion is greater than a height of the first mass portion,
wherein the first port is configured to receive the first mass portion,
wherein the second port is configured to receive the second mass portion, and
wherein a distance between the first port opening and the first port wall is greater than a width of the interior cavity between the first port wall and the face portion.
7. A golf club head as defined in claim 6 , wherein the second port includes a second port opening at one end of the second port on the back wall portion and a second port wall on an opposite end of the second port, wherein the first port wall is separated from the face portion by a first distance, wherein the second port wall is separated from the face portion by a second distance, and wherein the second distance is greater than or equal to three times the first distance.
8. A golf club head as defined in claim 6 further comprising a polymer material injected into the interior cavity.
9. A golf club head as defined in claim 6 , wherein a distance between the first port and the toe portion edge is substantially less than a distance between the first port and the hosel portion, and wherein a distance between the second port and the toe portion edge is substantially less than a distance between the second port and the hosel portion.
10. A golf club head as defined in claim 6 further comprising a polymer material between the first port and the face portion.
11. A golf club head comprising:
a hollow body portion having a toe portion with a toe portion edge, a hosel portion, a top portion with a top portion edge, a sole portion with a sole portion edge, a back portion with a back wall portion, and a front portion;
a face portion coupled to the hollow body portion enclosing the front portion to create an interior cavity;
a first port located on the back wall portion and above a horizonal midplane of the body portion, the first port having a first port opening at one end of the first port and a first port wall on an opposite end of the first port;
a second port below the horizonal midplane;
a first mass portion; and
a second mass portion,
wherein the first port is configured to receive the first mass portion,
wherein the second port is configured to receive the second mass portion,
wherein a distance between the first port wall and the first port opening is less than a height of the second mass portion, and
wherein a distance between the first port opening and the first port wall is greater than a width of the interior cavity between the first port wall and the face portion.
12. A golf club head as defined in claim 11 , wherein the second port includes a second port opening at one end of the second port on the back wall portion and a second port wall on an opposite end of the second port, wherein the first port wall is separated from the face portion by a first distance, wherein the second port wall is separated from the face portion by a second distance, and wherein the second distance is greater than or equal to three times the first distance.
13. A golf club head as defined in claim 11 further comprising a polymer material injected into the interior cavity.
