What does DIVOT mean in Scrabble?
noun
A piece of turf or grass, together with the soil beneath it, that is torn up, especially by a golf club or a horse's hoof.
In golf, a divot is the scar left in the fairway when a player's club strikes the ground under the ball, and etiquette generally calls for the player to replace it afterward. The same word describes torn turf left by galloping horses on a polo field or racetrack. Groundskeepers spend considerable time repairing divots to keep a course or pitch level and playable.
How DIVOT is used
Common in golf and other turf sports; refers to the patch of torn ground rather than the club or swing itself.
