i started playing golf about a year ago with a basic set and my handicap is currently sitting at twenty two. i play mostly at local courses around manchester and hit the range once a week to work on my iron play which has been the weakest part of my game.

i found some reduced golf gear on golf gear direct the cobra fly xl irons set now marked down and i am planning to pick them up to get better distance control and forgiveness on my approach shots this summer.

any thoughts on these reduced sets. would they suit a twenty two handicap player.

Nobody picks up anymore. Like genuinely, I'll go through 60 dials in a morning and have maybe 4 actual conversations, and 2 of those are people who picked up by accident and hang up immediately. The whole "just dial more" advice feels increasingly disconnected from reality.

What I started doing instead is keeping live calls only for first contact and using ringless voicemail drops for everything after that. No ringing, drops straight to their inbox. Tried a few tools and landed on dropcowboy, works fine, integrates with the CRM without too much pain.

The thing nobody tells you is that the script matters way more than the tool. Short, casual, sounds like you left it from your car. Not a polished corporate thing. That's the difference between a callback and a delete.

Anyway just venting. Is anyone else rethinking how much time cold calling is actually worth at this point?
