Divot [noun]

Hunger's gude kitchen to a cauld potato, but a wet divot to the lowe o' love.

As it was it entered the ground two feet behind the ball and emerged, with a superb divot, just in front.

Before applying for the job our young friend Foozle would like to know whether he will be required to replace the divot.

The old shepherd was sitting on his divot-seat, without the door, mending a shoe.

He quietly lifted the lower edge of a divot on the roof, and peeped in to see what was going on.

Alastair then told him he had put the highest divot from the roof as far down as the lowest.

Those who eat and chatter, kiss hands and smile, but never take a divot are losers of something that is heartening.

Scottish boys often weight it at the end with a "divot" which is a little piece of actual turf, both grass and root, all together.

Personally we find that, at our usual rate of divot-removing, five golf-links will last us a month.
