Re: Hitting with the back side of an iron...legal?

Are you talking about what Greg Norman just did in the European Tour's tournament this weekend that Darren Clarke won? The GC showed Norman, close to a tree, and hitting backwards, by hitting his wedge on end, facing backwards, and just swinging the club forward and down ward on the ball hitting it behind him to the fairway (I guess in retrospect, he didn't hit it backwards). OK, but didn't Adam Scott do that at the Doral? when he was too close to the flowers, hit his iron left-handed?

I know I've seen a pro do it, but they turned the club over so that they still hit the ball with the face of the club. Can you legally hit the ball with the back-side of a club?
