Let me add some fog! It is possible to make a golf stroke such that the golf shaft always points at the target line. Such an action requires the least amount of physical effort by the golfer since all of one's effort is eventually directed at the ball. However, because of the human's bio-mechanical structure, to do so, the club shaft will always be swinging on very different inclined-planes. Dunn was wrong and Hogan very wrong, but they both were effective golfers.
Bagger,
You are right. I mis-wrote. Whenever the clubshaft is parallel to the ground, it points to aft and/or forward infinity and can't point at plane line. However, except for those brief moments, the rest of my comment is correct. Thanks for the correction.

Bump...
Still wait'in for some fog lifting xyz.
At some point in a full swing the clubshaft is typically parallel to the plane line during release and after follow through. Let's not forget about the end of the backswing as well. Three sections total.
Lets hear about it.

Yes it would be possible with on a putt. You would have to bend way over to do so.

A variation on the original question, edits in green....
