HOW TO DETERMINE WHERE YOUR BALL LANDS
IN BRIGHT SUNNY CONDITIONS

If you have too much sun in your eyes or, too vision impaired, to see the flight of
your ball there is a technique to determine the direction of your ball and approximately
where it lands.

Simply follow these steps:

1. Maintain your follow-through and posture.

2. Close your left eye if right-handed or your right eye if left-handed and then
turn your head in the direction of your target while immobilizing your body.

3. The direction your open eye points (sees) will be the direction your ball flew.

4. Also, by knowing the relative distance your ball would fly with the club in use
you likewise will know approximately where your ball landed

The most significant benefit of this technique is to know whether you hit your
ball in the direction of your target, hooked or pulled it to the inside of your body line
or sliced or pushed to the outside of your body line.

It also could save you a lot of lost time in an attempt to otherwise find your ball.
