Golf Blogger Survivor II: Filled with creamy Nougat

Week two is in the books, and the third Secret Word has been sent out as Golf Blogger Survivor II hits its stride. After this week, I’ll tally the votes and then have to cut it down to five finalists for the last round to determine a champion. So good luck with your third word.

Week 2’s Secret Word was: Nougat.

Mmmmmm. Let’s see what tasty treats the Survivors came up with.

Golf Blogger Survivor II: Second Secret Word

Golf Noise didn’t use the word in his post, but got it in his art (which is perfectly legal) in his post “Where is the Integrity”:

My Daily Slice imagined a world where the PayDay candy bar was renamed the “TigerBar":

The renaming of the loved nougat will contain the same chewy-peanut-filled ingredients that made the popular candy bar a consistent leader in the sweet-tooth business.

As with Tigers’ career, the bar will be placed in stores at a higher shelf level than the other candies scattered at kid’s-eye-view. “We’re placing the bar on the top shelf of aisles only to be attained by the truly-hungry souls that clamour for the sweet taste of success.” Said a Hershey spokesperson.

The Aspiring Golfer learned some hard truths about his swing, but couldn’t resist a jab at David Leadbetter:

But what really caught my eye was the shameless promotion by David Leadbetter. You can find the photos here, and they have to be seen to be believed. Is there nothing this man won’t endorse or promote?..coming to a bill-board near you soon - David Leadbetter and the latest slow energy, release system, a Golf nougat bar, designed to knock 5 shots off your game.

The Deep Rough finds 10 Ways to Fill a Golf Ball with Nougat (or not):

Anyway, back to the completely irrelevant title of this post, why can’t I find any chocolate golf balls filled with nougat goodness? Or perhaps a Lindor truffle golf ball?

London Golfer takes a look at the snacks golfers go through:

The crazy paving of the confectionary world. Small pieces of granite held together with concrete and sweetened with sugar and nuts. The ruiner of all things dental. The mauler of molars.

So enraged at all the bird droppings on their immaculate greens, golfers feed these sugary bricks to the birds out on the course. Our tiny brained feathered friends lap them up, not realising that nougat spells their certain doom.

Ron Mon gives praise to a fan favorite in “John Daly, Superhero: The Man of Nougat”:

What is Daly if not nuts, fruity, and all other similar adjectives? Is he both chewy and brittle? Chewy in the belly, and brittle in the spine? Without doubt! My search had ended, and from the fires of your local confectionary oven, a new superhero was born…
So, brave viewers, bow to your newest member of the Hall of Justice. John Daly, NougatMan.

The Golf Girl gets us updated on Rachel Ray:

The clip is from the Palm Springs episode of her “$40.00 a day show", and as always, she seems to be have an amazing amount of fun as she eats and drinks and plays her way through town…or across the country or around the world. One week she’s sipping Chard in Sonoma the next, she’s noshing on nougat in the south of France! It’s always deliciously entertaining. Because whether she’s posing for an FHM photo spread or whipping up a 30 minute meal, Rach makes everything seem easy, breezy and, well …yum-o. Now admittedly there are those who find her excruciatingly annoying, but that’s not most of us.

Golf Logic has some fun with golf and basketball:

My Toronto Raptors are kicking ass once again! I was at the game Friday where they destroyed the Denver Nuggets 121-94. The game was great especially since my guest at the game was a Nuggets fan. He told me he ordered Nuggets golf bag and I was going to have to use it for a month if Denver won…a Raptor victory meant a nice steak dinner next week!

The funniest part of the game was when the crowd started chanting Denver Nougats! The players didn’t seem to like it too much but I had a good time with it!

OobGolf gets poetic and fancy on us in the epic poem “First Time Out":

Never ending squishing at my feet,
Onward towards the pin I trudge.
Ugly weather greets us,
Green has not yet touched this course.
Alas, spring will be upon it soon,
Til then, I will still enjoy my day.

And Travelling Golfer gets sweet on Tiger Woods’ latest win:

Here’s a little nougat of truth for you: Tiger’s better than every professional golfer in the world today. And most of them from yesterday.

So that’s it for this week. It appears Golf Now didn’t get time to get his word in and I haven’t heard from over there, so sadly, we have the first Survivor voted off the island. Get your votes in, as it appears the Andrew has a big lead, but much like the real Survivor, it’s all about how you finish.

And remember, I have the final call on judging if the votes are close. Oh, power is so delicious. Just like … Nougat.

So Survivors, Keep Blogging!!
