Whenever I sit in the chair, the first thing I do
before the round starts is to stand in the pilot's box
and line up all the poles with distant landmarks, such
as trees, power poles, etc. Then I move back to the
chair and notice the amount of parallax. I use that
difference to judge the box violations.

Reminds me of a rather amusing picture I saw one time.
A guy was bent completely around so his head was,
well, where the sun doesn't shine. The caption to the
picture was "I'm just trying to see things from your
perspective". :-)
