Divot
Grass displaced after a shot
Pronunciation
/ˈdɪv.ət/
Definition
A piece of turf displaced when a club strikes the ground during a shot. Proper etiquette requires golfers to replace their divots or fill them with a sand/seed mixture. Playing from another golfer's unfilled divot is considered an unlucky lie.
Example
"He replaced the divot after his shot."
