Just use the cheapest 2" wide masking tape you can find. Unless it is raining, it will last for quite a few hits and leaves a good mark where the ball hits. You do not need to be precise either, just slap a piece of tape on the face. You can also use the masking tape with a lie board if you like.

sharpie on the ball. The sharpie will transfer to the face and even show the lie angle at which you brought the club into impact. You have to make a thick vertical sharpie line and align that line on your target line (sort of hard). This method is great to show impact location and if you need a lie angle adjustment.

What happens when you hit the ball with impact tape?
Many amateur golfers, when they first start using impact tape, will notice that they consistently strike the ball out toward the toe of the club. This is a common problem. As a result of the ‘over-the-top’ move that many players make when they transition from backswing to downswing, it is common for the average golfer to swing across the ball from outside-in on the way through impact. When that happens, contact out near the toe of the club is the most likely result.
