When I was younger I played a bit of very bad golf and sometimes would practice swinging the club with a empty tee and if you just flicked the top of the tee with the club it would fly backwards. Catch too much of the tee and it would be hit forwards. So conclusion is that the backwards flick has nothing to do with the ball but is simply the spring action of the tee in the grass flicking it out.
Also if the is only loose dirt or sand it is nearly impossible to make it flick backwards.
