If it's too close then get the ball from the U, place it on the field and measure it.

I had an umpire that would do this. I truly hate it when they do. There's a huge difference between 4th and 4 inches and 4th and 2 feet, especially in a good game. We should not penalize the offense by this much just to avoid taking a measurement.
