Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls: We have a Golf Blogger Survivor Champion.
Golf Blogger Survivor was a game where bloggers got a secret, silly or strange word to put into their blog as seamlessly, or humorously as possible. Many thanks to all those who played, even Ron Mon, who was ridden off the island on a rail.
Looking back, here are some of my favorites:
Mark at Another Golf Website, showing his skills with the word “floccinaucinihilipilification:”

Golf Chick using the word “speculum” to describe Tiger Wood’s concentration over a putt:
“The Speculum Squat. What I would give to see through Tiger’s eyes. I wonder if the line of the putt actually glows on the grass for him.
Another Golf Website’s use of the word “gamine” was worthy of applause:
“Nike enjoys much success in the golf clubs world, but the limelight gets stolen by their drivers and irons. Compared to the likes of the Sasquatch driver, the putters sit in the chorus line … playing the gamine matchbox girl to the Slingshot’s rich heiress.
So, after tallying up the total votes, here’s what we had:
Golf Chick 3
Luke Swilor 3
The Golf Blogger 3
Another golf Web site 1
My Daily Slice 1
Ron Mon 1 (Controversially eliminated)
Mark Nessmith 1 (Controversially eliminated)
Golf Chick started out strong, and I’m sure most of us considered her a shoe-in for the title. Being a girl in a world of boys does have its advantages. The Golf Blogger was steady throughout, while Luke Swilor made a huge comeback at the end.
But in the end, it is a girl’s world. Showing her ability to be flatulant and avoid having floccinaucinihilipilification, she used her pen like a speculum to prove she’s no gamine.
Without further adieu, I present the first-ever Golf Blogger Survivor champion:

Aside from getting to keep the nifty logo, a future Blogger Leaderboard blog will be completely devoted to the lovely Miss Chick, as we’ll all get a little better look at the final Survivor.
So once again, everyone, thanks for playing! I’ve been told this contest would be chronicled in an upcoming made-for-TV movie, or possibly and E! “Behind the Blogger” special, but that remains to be seen.
An apology to those who missed out or were left behind. Nothing personal, just me being a ditz. But for all of you, let me just say: Keep blogging!
With her Blogger Leaderboard, Heather McMichael scans the web to bring WorldGolf.com readers the latest in what golf bloggers are saying about current news and events in golf, including PGA and LPGA Tour news, Tiger Woods, Michelle Wie and golf and travel destinations.
