<div>Hi, I’m Jack Raymond — a full-time bin man from Salford, Greater Manchester.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m 5’7” and 71kg, but I’ve set myself a goal most people would laugh at:
</div>
<div>to compete in my first European Long Drive Tour event — LDET Italy, April 2026.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I only started taking golf seriously 2–3 months ago.
</div>
<div>No coach. No lessons. No structured gym or speed training.
</div>
<div>Just raw graft from my day job and long nights grinding alone in a simulator.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In that short time, I’ve:
</div>
<div>•	Hit 319+ yards indoors
</div>
<div>•	Reached 171 mph ball speed in sim sessions
</div>
<div>•	Built a growing online following, with 60,000+ views across Instagram, TikTok and YouTube
</div>
<div>(@ProjectLongDrive)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m doing all of this while working full-time Monday–Friday, funding everything myself.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now I’ve taken the biggest step yet — entering my first international long-drive competition.
</div>
<div>Travel, training, entry fees and equipment costs add up quickly, and that’s where I’m asking for help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your support will go directly towards:
</div>
<div>•	Competition entry fees
</div>
<div>•	Simulator training sessions
</div>
<div>•	Travel and accommodation for Italy
</div>
<div>•	Essential equipment (balls, spares, replacements)
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m not backed by any brands.
</div>
<div>This is 100% grassroots.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you support this journey, you’ll be part of it — I’ll give shout-outs, tags and features in my content and event coverage, and you’ll be supporting someone representing Salford on a European stage.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Even £5 or £10 makes a genuine difference.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for backing a working-class lad chasing something big.
</div>
<div><br />
