Grassick

A grassick is a golfing term, primarily used in Scotland, referring to a forceful or errant shot that results in a large divot of turf being dislodged, often flying a considerable distance. The term implies a lack of finesse or control in the swing, resulting in more earth being moved than the ball itself. The severity of a grassick can vary, ranging from a small divot to a significant chunk of turf. While considered undesirable, it is a common occurrence, particularly among amateur golfers. The resulting divot usually needs to be replaced and repaired to maintain the course's condition. The term may also occasionally be used humorously to describe any similarly excessive displacement of earth in other contexts, although its primary association remains with golf.
