This is gonna sound extremely dumb, but as someone who knows nothing about golf, when a golfer hits a ball at a far distance how do they know where it lands?
You watch it.
Many years ago my brother, my dad and I would play regularly. For a short time one of my dad's friends (who was just learning to play) would round out the foursome. He'd hit his ball and inevitably yell, "Hey Al, where'd it go?" It became a joke with us and some years passed when I saw him again. I hate to admit it but I couldn't remember his name so I just said, "Hey, it's 'Where'd it go'".
