Hello All.

My name is Jon Davis. I'm a "golfer" in that I try to golf, but can only golf once-twice a week, so that gets in the way. I'm a notorious short hitter, I have literally jumped up and down (within the last two months) observing my drive travel 225 yards and land in the fairway. Needless to say, I have been working on power and head speed issues a lot lately. I still feel unhappy with some of the basics, but little by little it's coming together.

But I look forward to gleaning wisdom from some more seasoned golfers than myself.

My 6-year-old boy is golfing now- he goes to a lesson once a week, at which I get my driving range practice. He seems to enjoy it so far, which is good. I didn't want to be the dad that makes his kid do something of his (dad's) choice. But so far, he loves doing it and has that kind of excitement for the game.

    • Day  3 (4 May 24) - Easy pitch day with 9i in the backyard.  Worked on staying smooth thru impact, keeping shots to 20yds or less. 
    • From what I’ve read, it was in the manufacturing process and how the covers were nicking pretty easy.  He has had to resource his factory as the one used earlier is now a TM owned facility.  Initial reports seem to indicate the redesign is going to be a winner…
    • Day 129: 5/4/24 Stack training but could not certify my warmup speed. Dealing with a pulled neck muscle. Chips and pitches at a local course for about 15 minutes.
    • Typically less than 50. I find this can be affected by the "CART" signs on a given course. I don't like taking my rangefinder out of the cart and carrying it around to the green. I am very fearful I will leave it somewhere. 
    • First ever holed out greenside bunker shot! It's crazy it took this long to finally get one during a round, but the cold streak is officially over. Hole 6 on the Palmer Course at PGAN. I hit my driver like 225 into a really stiff wind, then worm burned a hybrid into the bunker. I was about I dunno, 40-45 feet away. Birdie! Let's go! The red Xs the approximate location of each shot.  Really fun!!
