New Club First Impression

[Crazyface]

I'm off to play in a comp at my new club this afternoon. That's a first for me. No one knows me there. My question is, would you be yourself from day one and to hell with it, or would be a little reserved at first and see how the land lies before being your normal self?

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Reserved. Feel your way in. First impressions and all that.

Just be yourself, have fun and enjoy it.
Obviously try not to upset anyone but that should be a basic life requirement anyway.
I look forward to the post later telling us they have refunded your subs and informed you that you are no longer welcome

I think what your trying to say is “
Don’t wear white ankle socks on my first day”.
Nope

 

[Mel Smooth]

Be yourself.

Always.

 

[Lucifer MorningStar]

Always be yourself nothing worse than pretending to be something your not or finding out someone isn’t who you thought they were.

 

[Arthur Wedge]

That’s a loaded question as your normal is to consistently criticise the club and committees

Always be aware that when meeting new people be yourself but avoid sensitive subjects like politics etc

 

[GreiginFife]

It says something if you have to question your “normal self”.

 

[The Squirrel]

It entirely depends what “yourself’ is like as to whether it’s a good advice to be that .

^^^^^ Your reserved self is the way to go IMO

Be your normal self, but do your best to internalize any radical thoughts or suggestions for improvements. Especially if you do not know the "status" of the people you are playing with.

Stick to playing golf and exchanging small talk rather than sharing the full workings of your mind.

This, with bells on.

If you try to be something you’re not, you’ll be found out. If you share your innermost thoughts on life, the universe and everything, you may alienate yourself.

Just go and enjoy your game and the company of others, and suss out how the land lies before truly opening up.

Not the day for mentioning the inconsistent width of the white lines in the car park.

Stay chilled and smell the flowers!

 

[Orikoru]

If it was anyone else I'd say just be yourself, but for you, not sure that's the best advice.

 

[IanM]

He's not reported in. I hope he's not in custody!

 

[Lucifer MorningStar]

He's not reported in. I hope he's not in custody!

Would probably tell the coppers they put the handcuffs on wrong

 

[irip]

He's not reported in. I hope he's not in custody!

He is just telling the head GK the greens are too slow and measuring the car park.

Don’t even mention trying to goose the ladies captain behind the buggy shed.

Are you worried about being yourself? Maybe you should never be yourself.

 

[Neilds]

Be careful what you say! I copped a broadside yesterday in the dropped ball thread for having a dig

 

[nickjdavis]

I've played the odd round with CF over the years. He's a good guy and I really hope he'd take these remarks in the spirit in which (I hope) they were meant.

Certainly I was pulling his leg at his enthusiasm about the new course, in stark contrast to the commentary about the previous.

If not, hope he messages me and lets me have it!

I'm pretty sure I played with him a long long time ago on a Golf Magic forum organised meet up at Worksop. I would echo your sentiments.
