How hard was it to find?
This answers the plan's first question: is direction or the last few yards the bigger problem?
Search area width (half-angle either side of the line, degrees)
About 67° for the main camera on recent iPhones held sideways. A wrong value skews the direction from video.
Clubs (yards)
Spread is how far either side of the average your ball usually lands. It sets the search area's length.
