Golf Blogger Survivor grinds to the end as more fall to the wayside

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 This week, I seem to be unable to find the Secret Word from a couple Survivors and know at least one has withdrawn.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 of something as worthless, though it is most often used as a humorous way to view something as worthless, and is often considered the longest word in English.

The Survivors will have a week to get mentally prepared for the next work, as next Monday I’ll send the finalists the final Secret Word. So, without further delay, I bring to you Week No. 3’s efforts from the Survivors.

Golf Blogger Survivor: Week 3

The Golf Blogger used it as a way to introduce a seemingly worthless golf product – the golf ball rug:

Floccinaucinihilipilification of the Week

Golf Punk on the new young guns on golf and what it all means:

“More likely, we are seeing the consequences of Tiger’s total domination of the game over the last decade. Players have responded to parts of the game, such as physique and diet, which were previously a floccinaucinihilipilificational aspect of their games, while a new generation have used Tiger as their benchmark and honed their skills to that level of competition.”

Mark at Another Golf Website, was nifty and got it in some artwork:

Luke Swilor blogging about the long hitters that seem to be dominating golf:

“Length is good, but longer hitters should not bring about the floccinaucinihilipilification (holy ten-dollar word Batman) of the short game. If you don’t hit it as long, the short game becomes even more important. If you do hit it long the geometry of golf tells you that the further you hit it, the further off line a shot will go.”

My Daily Slice found it useful in a blog about a proposed Ripley’s Golf Museum:

“It appears that Ripley’s Believe it or Else is expanding their franchise, and is digging ground on a new museum showcasing golf oddities.
The Chief Floccinaucinihilipilification Inspector’s from Titless, Maxcrash, Dunplop, and Taylor Made-in-China, were gathered at a banquet celebrating failed test-products that, although are worthless to a golfer, are a treasure trove for the museum and it’s legion of oddball-searching visitors.”

Golf Chick got stuck in a small town and used the Secret Word to better describe a late-night conversation with a nihilist:

“And thus began my floccinaucinihilipilification of small town Ohio living.”
