This could just be a wording thing....
I always see the ball get struck but I would never say that I saw the club head strike the ball. I wasn't watching the club head, I had my eye on the ball. How can anyone not see impact? Abandon hand-eye coordination, no thank you.

Yes its a wording thing, thank you magicmarker. I sometimes dont see the ball get struck, but seem to strike/make contact with the ball.

I black out about as soon as I reach the top and don't really know what's going on until the club has come to a complete stop on the other end. That's on my good shots. The bad ones are the ones where I try to see or change what's going on. The thinking should be done before the swing, and the actual swing is more of a cerebellum controlled motor skill thing to me.

Yeah, I recall having seen my divot or the tee after impact. But it's only happened a time or two, and wasn't ever something I'd actively try to do.
I doubt Sorenstam,Duval or Allenby are even looking at the ball when the clubhead makes contact.
Watching the ball closely is not as important like in tennis where the ball is moving at high speed.In fact,keeping your eye and face pointed at the ball after impact restricts your pivot if you are not all that flexible in the neck and shoulder areas.

I hear it, especially with the driver.
