How can you repair a golf club when the head is broken off?

Answer

You can't. The only way it would be possible is if it is only the clubhead that comes off. If there is just a piece of the shaft in the hossle, it is irreplacable and you have to buy a whole new club.

Answer

Call a local blacksmith. He might be able to do a quick weld (you'll want to ask him if he has a welder at his shop). It might cost you $50.00 or less. As a blacksmith, he probably understands the importance of accuracy and precision regarding golf clubs.

Answer

I interpret this question differently. If the hosel is broken, it's probably not worth fixing. If the shaft has broken, leaving you with a clubheaad with a little bit of shaft down in the hosel, it's not a big deal to re-shaft it. A local golf shop can do it, or you can use it as your excuse to explore the wonderful world of clubmaking. Best case there's enough of the broken shaft sticking out so that you can grab it with vise-grips. Heat the hosel with a propane torch until the epoxy bond fails, then twist the broken piece out. If not, you can use a shaft extractor, which is like a screw extractor (a.k.a. an easy-out to get a grip on the shaft, then heat it with a torch as before. Either way, once you get the hosel cleaned out, re-shaft as usual.

Answer

You can most definately drill the excess shaft that is broken off in the hosel if that is the case, then if you want, you CAN make an even cut across the old shaft, as low as possible, and use that shaft to reshaft, but that will result in a club up to 2 inches shorter. Regardless, if you do reshaft, find the strongest epoxy you can, because I have been reshafting clubs for a good while and I have given up on the cheap stuff, it just doesn't cut it. (Especially on irons)
