To answer that age-old question “Wow, are they still doing that??” welcome to the second-to-the-last “blog-isode” of Golf Blogger Survivor!
When we last left our Survivors, there were just six of them left, and they were stranded with one final word to help decided the ultimate Golf Blogger Survivor. It appears just five have gotten in their final word, however (let me know if I missed yours Golf Punk).
That word: Gamine. As defined by Dictionary.com, gamine is: “An often homeless girl who roams about the streets; an urchin” or ” A girl or woman of impish appeal.”
Here are the efforts from ...

After seeing Luke Swilor’s game in person, the Media Guru and other golf bloggers are trying to get some interest in getting Luke the $6,000 he needs to get on the U.S. Pro Golf Tour.
Anyone ready to help sponsor Luke, an up-and-coming pro?
Speaking of someone with some game, GolfNomad hit more than half the fairways on his way to a solid 82 last weekend. And over at The Hole Truth, John K. keeps us updated on Atlanta golf and how his blog is proceeding nicely. And it is.
Finally, over at Golf on the Brain, they have an interesting ...

Well, Golf Blogger Survivors, it’s your final week. Some have been kicked off, some have wandered off, and some others (Ron Mon) bitterly despise us. Some even have played without joining (at least that’s what InstaMarv said about David Feherty). In the end, however, the final six are still standing and ready for their final words.
Here are the final six Survivors:
Golf Chick
The Golf Blogger
Golf Punk
Another Golf Website
Luke Swilor
My Daily Slice
Right now, it appears that Golf Chick has gotten the most votes, but The Golf Blogger has his fans, as well. With just one week left, everyone has had some great ...

When golf bloggers get together, what happens? Well, in the case of Luke Swilor and MediaGuru, you get six birdies and three eagles!
Seems the two got together for a round of golf, and while the professional Luke ended up winning, the Guru gave as well as he took.
“It was probably about 35 degrees when we teed off. We started on the back 9 first. We both reached the par 5 in two (I hit an easy 5 iron and Luke probably hit a wedge or 9). Luke was almost as shocked as I was when I rolled in about a ...

Week 3 of Golf Blogger Survivor is in the books, and now it’s up to reader’s and bloggers to figure out our top-5!
The ranks are getting smaller. Last week, Ron Mon and Mark Nessmith were hurled from our competition for being, well, themselves. This week, I seem to be unable to find the Secret Word from a couple Survivors and know at least one has withdrawn. So right now we seem to be down to six Survivors, which means we may may the final Top-5 into the final Top-6.
Which brings us to this week’s Secret Word: floccinaucinihilipilification
Floccinaucinihilipilification is the estimation ...

While Golf Blogger Survivors work to digest a word that’s a mouthful, what are other bloggers going on about?
Mulligan Stu is one of the bloggers thinking about Big Break V, and getting a laugh from how hard the show worked to show that all the girls playing are heterosexual.
“How often in the first 10 minutes of “The Big Break V” debut did the The Golf Channel show the female contestants remarking on the cuteness or hotness of Hawaiian men? By my rough count, 272 times.
The sexuality, for all the men watching, of the contestants thus established, the series was free ...

Hey everyone, welcome to Golf Blogger Survivor Round 2, dedicated to speading the love!
For the readers who didn’t catch on to week No. 2’s Secret Word, it is (drum roll) … Speculum! It’s a medical device that … oh, look it up.
So, the Week No. 2 results will hopefully accomplish two things: One, we will see who is still at the top of their game and we will see our first bloggers “Sent off the island.”
Golf Blogger Survivor: Week 2
Another Golf Web site on the hunt for discount golf equipment:
“You’ll need a speculum and rather long forceps to drag ...

While I’m off playing games, other golf bloggers are getting ignored. And let me just start with this – many of you that we feature at Worldwide Golf Blogs have been updating your blogs like crazy. Great work, everyone!
Bogey Man is one of a number of the bloggers to talk about the PGA Merchandise Show – but better yet, he actually got to go there! He should have blogs from what he learned there coming for quite some time.
Miranda at Even Par Round has a gripe about CBS’s TV coverage – which seems to be fine if all you care ...
