Waggle Room is Taking Nominations for the 1st Ever Waggle Roomies
The Golf Writers Association of America has an annual awards ceremony that excludes bloggers like myself because I don't get much ink in newsprint during the year. And, they haven't come up with a blogging category. So, I've decided to create the Waggle Roomies - the awards defined and voted on by the readers of Waggle Room.

How the Waggle Roomies work is simple:
First, YOU get to suggest to me what kinds of categories that you think would make great awards for this year. They can be about anything related to golf: best dressed player, funniest golf article, dirtiest golf joke. Whatever you'd like.
Then, based on the suggestions that I get, I'll decide on the categories that we'll vote on for this year. I will pick the categories based on how many possible winners I think there can be. I'm not going to have you vote on the category "Best performance by John Daly or a John Daly look alike" because only John Daly and that guy on the Asian Tour can win.
After that, I'll unveil the slate of nominees for each category and give ample time to vote on each award. And then I'll try to get in touch with the people who win - no matter who they are - and present them with a Waggle Roomie. (Roomie, for short.) And hopefully we'll get some pictures back of happy faces!
So, let's get started. I need categories - LOTS of categories. Anything golf related will do, but please make them kind of creative. You can leave them here, Twitter them to me, or drop me an email with your ideas!

Great idea Ryan...
I imagine you will already have categories related to Best Overall Blog and Rookie of the Year, but I think you should also consider Most Complete Golf Blog and possibly Most User Friendly.

category? Best Golf Blog that has some stuff other than golf on it..??
Golf blog using the most unnecessary contractions?? I probably shouldn’t’ve brought this up… (Parentheses)? Exclamation Marks??!!!!!

Are you nominating me?
I blog about golf, NHL, NFL, and a wide assortment of sports here. Why don’t any of the Waggleroomers ever come pay me a visit? If only to tell me I’m nuts.

Don’t put it all to votes is my main suggestion. Just make your own call on what should get nominated based on input and then pick the winner yourself, or do some split % on determining the winner. Your opinion is the one that matters the most given they’re your awards.
That said:
- Most controversial post
- Funniest post
- Sexiest post (mrowwwl)
- Freshest take on a tired subject
- Best suggestion for an award category – ok…that probably is too much.
