Ah, a perfect day! The sun smiles upon you from an azure sky, and everyone is working hard at their pathetic little desks. Except you. You're in an "important meeting" on the golf course.
But when you tee off, your idyll is shattered. Instead of the ball soaring majestically down the fairway like the pros on television, it skews violently off to the one side, about 30 feet.
You become dejected. Black clouds roll in low from the east. The old-age pensioner foursome behind you wants to play through. You might as well slink back to the office.
Stop! It's just that you're missing the "sweet spot" on the golf ball. And now there's a perfectly legal way to find it. Place a new ball into the Sweet Spot Finder and close the lid. It gyrates the ball to determine its individual variance in mass and its optimal spin axis. After 20 seconds, you insert the special pen through a hole to mark the spot.
When you tee up, you place the ball with the spot pointing back between your feet.
