Avid golfers know this struggle all too well.
After frustratingly hitting the ball way off of course, they are then tasked with finding it themselves.
Whether it be fishing it out of a pond, drudging through the woods, or hiking out to the parking lot, many golfers consider this trek the ultimate walk of shame.
Especially, if they come back empty handed.
That was the case for one golfer on Reddit who took a picture of their golf ball completely lost in a path of pebbles.
The tan, white, and gray stones allowed the white ball to blend right in and it left commenters on the r/FindTheSniper page totally stumped.
See if you can accomplish what many failed to and find the missing ball in less than 20 seconds.
If you’re a golfer, it should be no problem. Hopefully.
A golfer took a photo of a ball completely lost in the pebbles, and challenged commenters to find it
Commenters on Reddit, some of them experienced golfers took longer than they cared to admit locating the golf ball.
One even gave up before even attempting: ‘No thanks I play this game for real, don’t need to ruin my day by playing it here too but good luck’
Others gave up early, making jokes instead of finding answers: ‘Right there! Next to the rock,’ said one user.
‘It’s in my pocket. Then in the grass as you look away. Found it,’ joked another.
A few people tried their hardest and still couldn’t find the ball: ‘I mean it’s in there somewhere. Pretty sure.’
The handful that found it were frustrated by the end: ‘Once I found it I can’t fathom why it took me so long.’
Did you fare better than the the Reddit investigators?
The answer was hard to come by, with many commenters giving up at some point during the process
Of course, after glancing over every single rock and pebble, you’re bound to solve the illusion eventually.
The eerily circular rock at the edge of the grass, midway up the photo, is no rock after all, but the missing golf ball.
One or two Reddit investigators found the solution to be a simple one, one of them even saying: ‘I knew this one would be easy. I have far too much practice finding my golf ball in the worst of locations.’
If you were able to find it quickly it may be time to take up some golf, so that you can put your ball-finding skills to good use.
