I recently overheard a scratch golfer at my favorite course say that he had a ball spin back on him from the tee-box onto the fairway. I thought he was blowing smoke where the sun don't shine, but....
A few weeks later I hit a sweet drive on a par 5 hole there and when I got to my ball, it had indeed spun back about 2 feet from the "impact crater". The course has bent grass fairways that are kept in pretty good shape.
Just a little anecdote, slightly on-topic.
And, yes, I have had several spin backs on the greens there, though I'm not sure how or why.
