Subject field(s)
  • Golf
DEF

A piece of sod cut out of the fairway by the club head just after it hits the ball.

OBS

Considerate golfers find their divots and place them back. Pressed down lightly with foot, most divots will grow in again.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Golf
CONT

Dans l'allée, la plupart des golfeurs arrachent une touffe de gazon en exécutant normalement un coup de fer et parfois même de bois. (...) Replacez-la en la tapant du pied dans son trou. (Étiquette du golf).

OBS

On utilise également "motte" et "touffe" sans complément, en contexte, mais comme tels, ces mots ne sont pas des équivalents de "divot". Ce dernier terme est passé dans la langue en Europe et particulièrement en France; il est un anglicisme au Canada.
