Seems like a lot of people are angry at this....but I thought it was pretty common for top-tier players, especially at Augusta?
Seems like Rory took it to an extreme (doesn't care about his carbon emissions anymore LOL), but this isn't some new concept, correct?
Looking for some golf guys opinion...I am a complete casual of the sport.

There’s been a few times in the last 3 weeks when Rory McIlory has dropped his daughter at school, flown to Augusta, played a practice round and returned in time for dinner. If that sounds like a man who’s comfortable at this golf course, well, that’s because he is. An essay:

Well I have a dilemma.
I do everything I can to not miss my kids’ lacrosse games. I once turned down playing ANGC for the first time, so I could watch my son’s travel team game.
I was already in Augusta this week to play the MacKenzie at 21. After the round I came back to the family Tampa for Easter.
I am heading back to Augusta, but I was also awaiting the State of Florida’s Varsity Lacrosse Playoff schedule (both my son and daughter play varsity lax and both are in the playoffs. The schedule was delivered today.
Was hoping for better news, but my son’s first game is Thursday at 7PM and my daughter’s is even worse 7PM on Friday.
Both teams will 100% win their games and normally I would atleast consider possibly heading back to Augusta, HOWEVER my daughter is two saves away from being only the second Newsome girls goalie with 100 saves in a season and she is just a Freshman. I can’t leave for Augusta until after her game. Our girls will likely win, and the other team may not get a ton of shots off on her but I feel like I absolutely have to be there for her. So that means I will be hitting the road at 9PM Friday with a tee time on Saturday.
What upsets me:
I was told we would have a bye week for the girls team and I might have skipped my son’s game knowing it will be a blowout.
Now I am going to have an exhausting week.
Will be playing the MacKenzie again and have a ticket to Sunday’s round.

Narrator: but he did quit. For over a decade. Until someone came along willing to pay off his bogus insurance policy

This is cool (probably don't listen to it around your kids).

@Conley76 @thisiscodeman @ClaytonManningg @EzSzN51 @grok. What's the deal with the referenced insurance policy?
English

@Conley76 @ClaytonManningg @EzSzN51 One that apparently you don’t know the details of. He was beyond the point of having to pay back the insurance claim when he joined LIV. Maybe know what you’re talking about next time you want to little buddy someone.

@ClaytonManningg @EzSzN51 It’s a very well known part of the story and there are dozens of articles that include the pertinent information that can be easily found

@TheDegenWeekly Honestly cant believe grown men listen to PMT. Might be the most brain rot podcast out. BigCat is the biggest phony, pseudo intellectual. PFT is clever, but not at length. Hank is a loser stoner retard. And the collective IQ is worth much less than anything u could be consuming.

Why do the best cold callers sound like SHIT?
There was a post on Friday with a cold caller (@imjustindevries), and he shared his call live, and everyone was making fun of his voice. And his voice sounded like how you talk to someone when you're playing a video game and also on the phone.
So he sounded objectively bad.
But he got the meeting.
We have a caller who has been with us a year and has booked over 500+ meetings, and started to slump. He had a call with a lead that lasted 30 minutes, and the guy no show.
A no show like that is so painful for a caller because it's like they were lying to you for 30 mins.
I told the team when I was growing up there was a song by this band called Vertical Horizon:
He's everything you want. He's everything you need. He's everything inside you that you wish you could be. He says all the right things, at exactly the right times, but he means nothing to you, and you don't know why.
We've all felt like that, at one time or another. Maybe we finally go out with our dream girl, and we find that she wasn't what we were expecting. Or we become millionaires and find out that our allergies are even worse now. There's something off putting, about perfection especially with AI
We want perfection, but then we get it and we don't feel anything. The perfect thing doesn't feel like anything. And deep down we don't believe the perfect person could ever understand us and all our flaws.
That's why the lead didn't show up. The call was perfect, but he didn't feel anything.
But why did the other caller get the meeting?
The example that I gave you guys of playing video games while cold calling is what I used to do to book more meetings than all the other sales people. I was working for my family. The business wasn't going well, and my parents were going through a horrific divorce that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. When I would play tetris or something and talk to people I was just distracted enough that I wasn't hyper focused on the result, and I could just talk to people. Ideally in sales, you don't need the money, but if you do, it's good to find an outlet like this. You will sound "worse" but perform better.
One of the best things a caller can do is allow himself to mess up, to say "hey it's my first month." People love that.
There's a Frank Herbert quote on perfection that captures this perfectly:
There is in all things a pattern that is part of our universe. It has symmetry, elegance, and grace - these qualities you find always in that the true artist captures. You can find it in the turning of the seasons, the way sand trails along a ridge...In such perfection, all things move towards death.
The truth is that perfection is a form of retirement, a form of death. Real life is messy. We can gloss over all our cold calls, all our workouts, all our sales meetings, all our fulfillment, and we glom it into some abstraction like monthly recurring revenue, or VO2 Max, or a "real age vs. biological age" but these are all ultimately meaningless. What matters is the quality of effort, if you are at your edge.
If you want an olympic high jumper to make it look easy, he just takes himself to 80% of his limit, and jumps over a couple cars and everyone is amazed. It looks perfect, but he also isn't pushing himself. He slowly starts to degrade.
In my favorite sales book by Roger Dawson, which is about as thin as a stack of 20 business cards, he says that the biggest obstacle for every sale is the indifference of the sales person.
When you put sincere effort, your calls will always dance on the edge of failure. People can feel that you are trying, that you care about the GAME. Real life is messy, and it's as different from perfection as a college basketball game is from the Harlem Globetrotters.
Give yourself permission to mess up. Trade perfection for sincerity. Stop acting and start PUSHING, and you'll get the results you want.
Justin@imjustindevries
I get through to my pitch on cold calls about 90% of the time If you don’t, your tonality likely sucks You want to be sound assertive, abundant, and casual Watch and learn fellas (this turned into a meeting btw)
