What is a backspin in golf?

A backspin in golf refers to placing spin on a golf ball so that when it lands (typically on the green, based on the nature of this shot) it does not continue to roll forwards but instead either stops or actually moves backwards. This is obviously done because the golfer does not want the ball to roll off the back of the green but instead "sit down" on the putting surface.

You can achieve backspin on a golf ball typically by placing the ball backwards in the stance so that the club head strikes the ball on a downward path, forcing the ball to roll up the clubface and thereby spinning it backwards. This 'backspin' will continue as the ball moves through the air and come into play when it lands. The higher the loft of the club the easier it is to create backspin.

Is divoted a word?

If your thinking of the word divot -" Golf . a piece of turf gouged out with a club in making a stroke."

I would say no because dictionary.com only says it is a noun.

If it were a verb you could add -ed to the end and say you had "divoted" something.

Also spell check doesn't think it's a word either.

However, English is a dynamic language. When you say something is 'divoted' to a friend, do they understand what you mean? Does the word clearly express the thing you are trying to express? Then it might as well be considered a word. Dictionaries are there to document the extant language, not limit it for future development and evolution.
