Commonsense Etiquette for Pull Carts

Pull carts are very common on the golf course. I think I see more people pushing their clubs around the course vice carrying. However, this article will cover carrying etiquette as well. Many people think that because I am pushing their clubs that little to no damage can happen to the golf course. This thinking is folly and consideration needs to be given to your playing partners and to…

Do you think JJ would constantly stay over at readers house bc he feels safe there compared to his own??

🦋anon

I love this!! I also kind of love the idea of the reader having accepting parents too bc that scene with Kiara’s hurt hurt!!

This literally just became a “please let JJ have a win with a girlfriend’s family who actually loves him” write-up…

Yeah he loved the independence that the chateau gave him, but your house had the company and it had the warmth of family. Your parents have stern rules about bedroom etiquette but they’ve practically given him the spare room whenever.

He definitely swings by after altercations with his dad; he’s been walking the street for hours trying to get the courage to ask if he can see you (& he does this every time, even after the 50th visit) because his insecurity is so deeply rooted in feeling like a burden (fuck you, Luke) to everyone.

So when he says he should go, because he doesn’t want to overstay his welcome, you’re always responding to it with “please stay” and not a “you can stay if you want” knowing he needs the clarifying reassurance that you want him there.

You’ll ask your parents downstairs if he can stay, and they’re always happy to say yes.

Your dad will talk to him in the kitchen while he’s making the dinner, and JJ helps with his experience from his summer jobs in the golf club kitchen. Your dad will never fail to find out how bad the altercation was, and give gentle advice and care and love and reassurance to jj, emphasising that he’s always welcome and never alone. Your dad is basically the Robin Williams in Good Will Hunting to Matt Damon. Your dad will hug him for as long as JJ needs it and there’s a few shared tears between them.

At dinner, your parents are always so interested in what JJ’s been up to—and when he divulges about the gold and his adventures, they believe him and want to hear more. They always make him feel like they see potential in him and that he’s not destined to be like his father & that his name isn’t tainted with a pre-made future.

JJ will talk mechanics with your mum, she’ll ask him if he knows what’s up with their car and he’ll go on this whole nerd talk about it.

He’ll help clean up: he washes the dishes and you dry them while your parents sit at the table still, sipping beer or martinis.

The recurring thought they always have, and the recurring thing they’ll always tell JJ is: “you have the kindest soul who has found it’s other half in our daughter” and they always make it clear that they’d rather him with you—a Pogue with gentleness—than the boys who attempt to butter them up—Kooks with misogynistic views.

Platonic Yandere Socialite x GN! Reader

- Yandere Socialite, who comes from an affluent family of successful business owners and who has a lot of stress and expectations for them to uphold their family's name, so they usually play golf as an entertaining way to blow off steam and network with their fellow golfers. It's not like this was their only option, but the scarce free time their parents ever have to hang out with them is usually spent on golfing sessions, so it's worth it.

- Yandere Socialite, who notices your family as the new members of the club. They recognize your parent as a tech entrepreneur whose business has become incredibly profitable and has catapulted your family into 'new money'. You guys are painfully obvious as well, wearing tacky, expensive clothing, and way too much jewelry for the sport, but Yandere Socialite can't help but be interested in you for some reason. So they approach you and your family for an invitation to a game.

- Yandere Socialite, who is pleasantly surprised as to how nice, polite, and sweet all your family members are, including you! Your family was so overwhelmed with their newly acquired wealth that they weren't completely sure what to do with their insurmountable wealth. It reminds Yandere Golfer of a family of baby fawns being so curious yet afraid of the world around them. But Yandere Socialite enjoys the company of all of you very much, so they make sure to invite all of you to a brunch tomorrow, as well as giving all of you some tips as to how dress better.

- Yandere Socialite, who becomes your family unofficial guide to high society, advising your family on what other families to socialize with, what brands and trends are popular in the main cliques, mannerisms, and etiquette to impress the 'old money' folk and many more tips! Yandere Socialite only asks (more like demands) your companionship and friendship in this hell hole that is high society.

- Yandere Socialite loves to drag you to trips to extravagant countries, going on shopping sprees where you pretty much become their confused yet flattered little doll to accessorize and pamper, attend high class events, and shows, and become their designated partner in any formal or informal setting! They get along well with your family as well! All of you have an innocent aura that fills them with such warmth that they wish to never let any of you go but have a stronger bias with you.

"Remember that after we finish with these clothes, we have the waterpolo event to attend to. I think it was some for some sort of charity or something?"

"I'm kind of tired... Can't we skip it?"

"Oh goodness, no! If you want, we can go to a coffee break. There's a cute organic cafe near the club!"

"All right..."

"You know what? Maybe we should invite your parents as well! I think there will be some important people there, so your parents can go and network!"

"Great..."

do you think rafe would be good at meeting parents? Because he could be from learning all the kook etiquette growing up but he also could be so out of pocket - 🤍

he’d be good at it but almost borderline too good?? like complimenting your mother to the point where it’s bordering on flirting, promising your dad a golfing day with a firm handshake and like because you know rafe — you know how fake all the gentlemanly behaviour is n you’re so tense watching him interact waiting for him to slip up.

he’s very confident with how good he is at meeting parents, so he gets cocky and will do things like give your thigh a little rub under the table almost too high up on your leg, giving you hidden little looks, oh so innocently asking you for the house tour so you can show him your childhood bedroom (so he can shove a hand over your mouth and pound your cunt whilst your parents are just downstairs) like he knowsss the game too well and he loves playing it

The Challenge Of Playing Golf With Strangers

Golf is a contact sport. What I really mean is that golf is becoming a social contact sport that provides the opportunity for everyone to meet new people. Sometimes this experience is very positive and others….well, not so much. If you have ever walked on to a golf course looking for a game, chances are you were put into a group of unknowns. After the initial pleasantries are exchanged, the real…

made proper turnarounds for my ttcc cog oc neon filia-mont (a.k.a. "the anecgloater"!)

this was made for artfight, but i've also copy-pasted her info here under the readmore!

Neon Filia-Mont (Young)

Summary A chipper young go-getter whose noggin crackles with ideas! Thanks to her prodigious talents in business, song, and dance, Neon Filia-Mont (a.k.a. "The Anecgloater") became a Bossbot Manager at C.O.G.S. Inc. She's an inspiration to the children of Suits everywhere! At least, that’s what her mother and father will tell you. In reality, they left C.O.G.S. Inc. to make Neon a deliberate commodity for Suitopia's under-13 demographic. And their gamble paid off! Her merchandise flies off shelves, her show is always airing, and you can't set foot in Chicogo without seeing one of her billboards. And if that wasn't enough, rumor has it that a mass-produced "Anecgloater" model is in the works... With all her success at such a tender age, Neon must live a charmed life, right? Info Gender: Cisgender Girl (She/Her) Age: 12 Height: About as tall as a Micromanager Fun Facts

Neon is an excellent performer! She can go toe-to-toe with adult Suits in terms of charisma and stage presence.

Neon likes Craig Edgar Oilcan a lot, and spends most of her time with him at Bossbot HQ. Craig taught Neon how to golf, as well as other Bossbot hobbies (such as clay pigeon shooting, dining etiquette, and a handful of cue sports.)

Neon doesn't spend much time with her parents, aside from work and the occasional fine restaurant experience. But her parents do love her! They're just a bit... hands-off.

Neon's social circle is mostly adults. She has very few, if any, friends her age; since she never went to elementary school. A tutor home-schooled her for everything.

Neon Filia-Mont (Adult)

Summary A grouchy, bitter woman in her early thirties. Neon Filia-Mont (a.k.a. "The Anecgloater") is a Sellbot you really don't want to work for. When she's not snapping at her underlings, she's sitting outside Sellbot HQ's silos; guzzling cans of cogfee or smoking cheap cigars. Neon hates it when people talk about her days as a child star. Does her vitriol stem from a case of gifted kid burnout, or something else? She'll never tell. But given her distasteful behavior, whatever happened to her couldn't have been pleasant... Info Gender: Cisgender Woman (She/Her) Age: 31 Height: About as tall as a Mr. Hollywood. Fun Facts

Neon's parents have cut off all contact with her. They retired happily and wealthy, Meanwhile, Neon is barely making ends meet.

Neon's show is still running! However, the real Neon has been replaced by a high-end, mass-produced "Anecgloater" unit. Most of the public can't tell the difference.

Neon spends most of her money on fancy clothes. She enjoys dressing to impress, and takes excellent care of her suits and ties. Though some say that she keeps herself covered for a reason...

Neon has tried to transfer to the Bossbot Department several times, using Craig Edgar Oilcan as a business reference. Craig pretends she doesn't exist.

Neon loves hitting on Minglers; especially Janet Jennings (Allan Bravecog's secretary). They all hate her.

On the other hand, Neon is deeply protective of child Suits. If she sees one, she'll act like a big sister and make sure they're safe.

Neon's relationships with the canon Sellbot managers can be read here.

The British Monarchy & Flat Cap. По одной из версий, толчком к повсеместной моде на головные уборы из шерсти, послужил английский указ 1571 года, который строго предписывал носить кепки и шапки молодым людям старше 6 лет по выходным дням и праздникам. Причем обязательно местного производства. По замыслу, это должно было способствовать росту производства шерсти, и способствовало поддержке британских шляпников. Как видим, это дало результат: сегодня одними из лучших мировых производителей шерстяных изделий, в том числе кепок и шляп из твида, считаются Англия, Шотландия и, конечно, Ирландия. Наибольшую популярность мужские кепки получили в конце XIX и XX веках. Носили их как простые рабочие, моряки, водители, так и представители интеллигентных профессий, не гнушались и аристократы! Кепка не была предназначена для выхода в свет или торжественных мероприятий - для этого существовали шляпы. Этикет того времени предписывал носить кепку на охоту, рыбалку или спортивные мероприятия. В кепках играли в футбол, теннис, крикет, гольф. Это был будничный аксессуар, который могли себе позволить самые широкие слои населения.

According to one version, the impetus for the widespread fashion for woolen hats was the English decree of 1571, which strictly prescribed that young people over 6 years old wear caps and hats on weekends and holidays. And they had to be locally produced. According to the plan, this was supposed to promote the growth of wool production and contribute to the support of British hatters. As we can see, this gave a result: today, England, Scotland and, of course, Ireland are considered to be among the best world manufacturers of woolen products, including caps and tweed hats. Men's caps gained their greatest popularity in the late 19th and 20th centuries. They were worn by ordinary workers, sailors, drivers, and representatives of intelligent professions, and aristocrats did not disdain them either! . The cap was not intended for going out or special events - hats existed for that. The etiquette of that time prescribed wearing a cap for hunting, fishing or sporting events. Caps were worn for football, tennis, cricket and golf. It was an everyday accessory that the broadest strata of the population could afford.

Hitting some balls at Topgolf was just a precursor for Gerrard to determine if Buck was worthy of taking out to the club, spending four hours together on the course. Buck behaved himself, because, well, he'd always wanted to go to Topgolf and as shitty as spending some of his limited hours outside of work with his new boss was, at least now he knew that the hype was worth it. He got a foot in with Gerrard and a plan for Tommy's birthday.

And he'd listened to his dad talk about his golf club enough as a kid to know the basic etiquette, the general do's and don'ts, so he took great joy in pulling up in his jeans and t-shirt, thumbing his nose at the members as they eyed him with disdain. He popped into the proshop to greet Gerrard who met with him an open mouth and a muttered, "where's your bag, you've got to changed clothes, you're violating dress code."

And Buck's tilts his head, says innocently, "dress code?"

And Gerrard has to scurry around, tossing a collared shirt and a belt on the counter, asking under his breath to the clerk if they have any pants his guest can borrow, and Buck just ignores everyone to browse through the hats and golf clubs, touching everything and leaving things just slightly awry.

He apologizes in his head to the staff, and promises himself he'll leave a big tip for them at the end.

Buck changes in the dressing room and then meets Gerrard and his two buddies and their caddies on the first tee. Greets them, shakes their hands, and makes a show of looking through his bag, asking the caddy what club he thinks he should use, asks about the terrain.

Watches the men all hit from the black tees but knows that's maybe too much embarrassment for himself, lines up at the blues and then takes his time. Takes a couple of prep swings, takes a step back, looks down the fairway, lines himself up again, goes to swing and backs away.

Looks at the friends and says, "sorry, it's been a while."

Proceeds to do this on every shot for the next 18 holes, long past when the marshall comes over and asks their group to please hurry up, because there's other groups behind them and they're slowing the course down and Buck apologizes profusely and then dithers between using his driver or his 3-iron on the next tee.

When they're on the 5th green, he considers yelling "Get in the hole!" as Gerrard putts, but can't bring himself to be quite that loud and obnoxious.

It doesn't matter; Gerrard is turning redder and redder, and has stopped looking at his friends, has his head down the whole time. Buck just smiles at them winningly, chatting away with the friends as they walk down the fairways, telling stories about the firehouse and the rescues and the helicopter to the cruise ship and despite the fact that this round will probably end up taking them five hours and get them reprimands from management, they're eating out of his hand.

He does buy them both burgers and beers at the turn.

Signs off on his card and takes a minute to look around, because it is a gorgeous facility and he will never be invited back, unless it's on call. Calls Tommy to gloat about the success of his undercover, drive-gerrard-crazy mission.

Gets yelled at again for using his cell phone somewhere other than the parking lot.

When Did Preppy Become a Trend?

Fashion trends come and go, but some styles endure, becoming more than just a fleeting fad. The preppy style is one such enduring trend, characterized by its clean-cut, Ivy League-inspired aesthetic. But when did preppy become a trend, and how has it evolved over the decades? To answer these questions, we need to take a closer look at the origins and significant milestones in the history of preppy fashion.

The Origins of Preppy Style

The roots of preppy fashion can be traced back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, closely associated with the Ivy League universities in the Northeastern United States. This region became a hub for elite education, and with it, a distinct style emerged among students.

The Ivy League Influence

Ivy League schools such as Harvard, Yale, and Princeton cultivated a unique culture, combining academic excellence with a penchant for sports and extracurricular activities. Students adopted a wardrobe that was both functional and stylish, characterized by items like blazers, polo shirts, sweaters, khakis, and loafers. This look was not just about fashion; it was a reflection of a lifestyle that valued tradition, discipline, and a sense of community.

The Rise of Sportswear

In the 1920s and 1930s, preppy style began to incorporate elements of sportswear. Tennis, sailing, and golf were popular among the Ivy League set, and their attire for these activities influenced mainstream fashion. The tennis sweater, for example, became a staple in the preppy wardrobe, symbolizing both athleticism and sophistication.

Preppy Style in the Mid-20th Century

The 1950s and 1960s marked a significant period for the popularization of preppy fashion. During this time, the style transcended its Ivy League origins and gained traction across the United States.

The Birth of the "Preppy Handbook"

In 1980, "The Official Preppy Handbook" was published, a tongue-in-cheek guide to the preppy lifestyle. Authored by Lisa Birnbach, the book became a bestseller and brought preppy culture into the mainstream. It covered everything from fashion to etiquette, solidifying the preppy aesthetic as a recognizable and desirable trend.

Key Fashion Brands

Several fashion brands played pivotal roles in popularizing preppy style. Brands like Brooks Brothers, Ralph Lauren, and J. Press became synonymous with preppy fashion, offering high-quality clothing that epitomized the Ivy League look. These brands emphasized timeless designs, premium materials, and a commitment to craftsmanship, further cementing the preppy style as a symbol of sophistication.

The Evolution of Preppy Fashion

As with any trend, preppy fashion has evolved over the years, adapting to changing societal norms and fashion sensibilities. However, its core elements have remained consistent, ensuring its lasting appeal.

The 1980s and 1990s: Preppy Goes Mainstream

The 1980s saw an explosion of preppy fashion in popular culture. Films like "The Great Gatsby," "Dead Poets Society," and "Love Story" depicted characters embodying the preppy look, influencing a generation of fashion enthusiasts. The 1990s continued this trend, with television shows like "Saved by the Bell" and "Clueless" showcasing preppy styles.

The 2000s: A Modern Twist

In the 2000s, preppy fashion underwent a modern makeover. Designers began incorporating bolder colors, patterns, and updated silhouettes while staying true to the classic preppy elements. Brands like Tommy Hilfiger and Vineyard Vines brought a playful yet polished approach to preppy fashion, appealing to a new generation of preppy lovers.

The Resurgence of Preppy Fashion Today

In recent years, preppy fashion has experienced a resurgence, thanks in part to a renewed interest in nostalgia and vintage styles. Social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok have also played a role in reviving preppy aesthetics, with influencers and fashion enthusiasts sharing their takes on the timeless trend.

Sustainable Preppy

Today's preppy fashion is also embracing sustainability. Many brands are prioritizing eco-friendly materials and ethical production practices, aligning with the values of modern consumers. This shift ensures that preppy fashion remains relevant and desirable in a world increasingly focused on sustainability.

Gender-Neutral Preppy

Another notable evolution is the move towards gender-neutral preppy fashion. Traditional preppy styles are being reimagined to be inclusive and versatile, allowing individuals of all genders to embrace the aesthetic. This inclusivity has broadened the appeal of preppy fashion, making it accessible to a wider audience.

Why Preppy Fashion Endures

The enduring popularity of preppy fashion can be attributed to several factors:

Timeless Appeal: Preppy fashion is built on classic, clean lines and versatile pieces that never go out of style. Its timeless appeal ensures that it remains relevant across generations.

Versatility: Preppy fashion effortlessly transitions from casual to formal settings, making it suitable for a variety of occasions. This versatility adds to its enduring charm.

Whether you're a long-time preppy lover or new to the trend, there's no denying the allure of preppy fashion. Its rich history, evolution, and enduring appeal make it a style worth celebrating. So, why not embrace the preppy trend and add a touch of timeless sophistication to your wardrobe?

From classic blazers to crisp polo shirts, preppy fashion offers endless possibilities for creating polished and stylish looks. And with its resurgence in today's fashion landscape, there's no better time to dive into the world of preppy fashion.
