The rules say: 14-1. Ball to Be Fairly Struck At. The ball must be fairly struck at with the head of the club and must not be pushed, scraped or spooned.
There is no requirement on what side of the head must be used.

Awesome! I hit a shot the other day when playing where I had to hit the ball left-handed and so I used the back of the iron to do it. It played well...I advanced it about 65 yards into the middle of the fairway, so I was thrilled. After the round I began wondering if that was legal or not. I finally remembered to post.  Thanks for the answer!!
