Hit the like button if you like what you're seeing, but let's take a look at the top seven tips to help you search and find your golf ball. Now, this tip relates to keeping a close eye on your ball whenever you find it in trouble. Sounds incredibly obvious, doesn't it? But it is the truth. It's just that every time you hit a bad shot, the temptation is to look away in frustration or think about what you just did wrong in your swing that led you to make such a bad shot, but that won't help you find the right solution. suitable golf ball.

The only way to find your golf ball is to keep a close eye on where exactly it went in this scenario. I just hit a chunk here from the 15th tee at the London Club. I know he's right, but since I turned around in disgust, I have no idea where he ended up, so keep watching your ball very closely until it lands so you get all the information you need if you need to walk to the side. to have a better view. exactly where the ball went in this scenario, it passed a little loop on the right side, I can probably see a little more of its flight if I walk to this side of the tee, all those things may seem small, they may seem obvious, but they will mark a big difference if you have gotten the ball into trouble.

Whenever you've gotten her into trouble, you'll of course need to have a good idea of ​​how far you've hit her. I think the big mistake is What you see in this scenario is that people tend to overestimate how far they have hit the ball. Often you will find yourself looking for the ball from someone in the group and they are looking in an area adjacent to where the other players who hit are. straight down the fairway when you have actually hit a slice and chances are that if you have the ball won't go that far so be realistic about how far you have hit the ball if you are looking for a drive shot or a cut shot takes away a little distance, that's always a sensible idea;

Alternatively, if you hit a hook, maybe it could have gone a little further, but also remember that if the ball went into an area like this with very thick long grass, there won't be any run on it either, so, as You can see here, my plane mates hit a really good drive that ended up in the right half of this hole, my ball, which was further right than that, a little bit of slice, there's some thick grass here, there will never be You've gotten as far as that way there, so having a kind of sensible approach, a common sense approach to how far you've hit the ball each time you've hit it.

Getting it into trouble could very well help you identify a better area to search for your ball and could give you the results you are looking for now. Whenever you have gotten your ball in trouble, it is very important that you get a very good line. about where that ball went now i'm on the 16th hole here at the london club international course and i hit a team hook my ball went just over the left edge of the bunker i think you can probably see the end of the street now by having a very good line knowing that the ball passed just over the left edge.

I have a much better chance of finding it now, it could well be that you Pick a place on the horizon, whether it's a pylon, a church spy, or a tree, whatever. Choose something that is really easily identifiable and as specific as possible so that when you enter the area to get your golf ball you can choose Look for that spot one more time and you should be able to have a much better idea of ​​where your ball has ended up. Now it is not essential under the rules of golf that you do this but we always recommend that you place an identification mark on your golf ball, this is my titleist pro v1x number two and I put two green dots above the titleist on both sides of the golf ball, that means if I hit the ball in a tricky area, chances are there are two other titleist In that area, I know exactly which ball is mine.

It could be one of those things that can really help clear up any unwanted confusion. When it comes to the rules of golf, you really want to avoid any confusion, so when it comes to searching. To find your golf ball, I would say it's always a good idea to put a unique identifying mark on your ball, so this next one is really important and relates to how you look for your golf ball. on the 13th hole at the international golf course here at the London club and I've managed a slight pull off the tee and I know that my golf ball is somewhere behind me between these trees and the tall grass that now has a good line. my tee, I know it's lined up with that tree that you can see behind me, but now I don't know exactly where I'm carrying my golf clubs, the way I'm carrying it today, so I would walk from the tee to the area that I think I hit my ball on. the shooting line effectively, at some point I should run towards my golf ball.

You should see it as I walk that line. That won't always be possible, of course, because sometimes. You're going to play in a cart or you're going to use a cart and in those scenarios what I would say is a good idea is to stop more or less adjacent to the area where I think your ball might be. By walking towards the raw and looking back towards the t and looking forward towards the tree, I am effectively retracing the line of the shot. Then I can walk forward and hopefully I should be able to find my ball and some really simple things there, but when it comes to looking for golf balls in difficult areas, those are the kinds of things that can make a difference, so if the sun for this shot, which I appreciate is a little bit in and out of the clouds, so it would be hitting directly. towards the sun and it can be very, very difficult to see where the ball is going, you swing at the ball, you look up to see where it has gone and suddenly the sun blinds you and you can't see where it has gone In this situation, it always makes sense to talk to your playing partner and say, would you mind keeping an eye on this one just to make sure your playing partner isn't practicing their grip or checking their backswing type while you are?

You're hitting because if that happens and you lose sight of it and your playing partner hasn't seen it at all, you could end up losing a ball that could actually be found perfectly fine in the first place in the latest set of golf rules revisions that were released by rna and usga in early 2019, they decided to remove the penalty for accidentally moving the ball while searching for it, so if you're someone who has played gold for many years, you might think, oh, if I accidentally stepped on my ball or I hit my ball with my club while looking for it.

I'm going to get a penalty kick, that's not the case anymore, so my advice to you would be to go in there, get a good look at it and feel it. You know, move the grass with your feet, that will really help you discover the ball in difficult areas, especially if you play in the fall, when the leaves fall from the trees, the ball can go under those leaves. It can be very annoying. You can lose. a ball in some areas that can actually be found now, if you accidentally move your ball, then my ball is here and if I'm looking for it, I accidentally move it like this, I don't get a penalty, but I have to replace the ball to its original position, like this that I would just pick it up and then I would know exactly where it was, but if I didn't know exactly where it was then I would have to guess, to the best of my knowledge, where it was.

It was originally located there and now I can go on knowing that I haven't broken the rules, so the advice here is very simple if you're looking for your ball, look for it, get in there, move the grass, try to find it. and if you move it, just put it back to its original position, so there you have it. That's our list of seven tips on how to look for and find your golf ball every time you hit it in a trouble spot on the golf course, I hope.
