Recently, the Youtube channel Barely Sociable uploaded a video about a mysterious phone message if you called 1-800-Golf-Tip. Some people remember hearing a mysterious recording back in the 90's, when they dialed the number. Now, the number has since been bought out and is now a sex hotline. It has not played the mysterious message for 20 years. Here's the video about it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_28b0P_6VvY.
According to reports from people who claimed to have called the number, they heard about this number by word of mouth or saw a billboard for it. Upon calling this number, they reported hearing a man's voice, with an Indian or Arabic accent, counting from 1 to 10. This went on as a loop, but some people remember hearing a loud screech if they were on the call long enough.
A few theories have came about as to what this number is, such as it being a placeholder recording for the number but never replaced. The most plausible theory is that it's a telemarketing gimmick leading people to call the number, and telemarketers receiving their numbers. No one knows the truth for sure.
As for me, I only know as much on the topic as the video gave me. I just wanted to post this here to bring this to your attention. If you want to know more about this lost recording, there are plenty of forums about this topic out there.

Thanx!
OH MY GOD THIS REMINDS ME OF THE MIDNIGHT MEAT TRAIN phone number! You would call and get 1 of 5 different pre-recorded personalities such as a vampire offering a "midnight meat train" it was so dang funny!
That's interesting. But the 1-800-GOLF-TIP number supposedly wasn't supposed to be comedic or scary. I've never heard it, but I'm guessing people are fascinated in it because of the mystery. However the mystery of it could make the recording either comedic or scary. But still no one knows why it existed. Hopefully it will be found.
I hate to say it but unless someone was recording off the phone in like '92, we have no way of finding this one.
The phone number was owned by an out of business fly-by-night company, who was sold to another shady fly-by-night company. I doubt they have any recordings.

Seeing how many people potentially called this number back in the day, someone would have possibly recorded it.
