I went to the United States Women's Amateur a few years ago. These were mostly college girls and they were all very small - most under 5'6" and 125-150. But they took an easy swing and consistently hit it about 250 yards. Made it look so easy.
I'm impressed you were able to follow it. I tried from every angle, beside the player, somewhat in front, way in front, I never once was able to follow it in the sky.
