2011 Tiger Woods Junior National Golf Team!

Once again the Birdiesisters would like thank the Tiger Woods Foundation for accepting them on the 2011 Tiger Woods National Junior Golf Team.  This is a very high honor!  Special thanks to Ms. Stacy Stark (Director, tournament services) and all those involved in making this decision.  This honor permits the girls to play in what some would say is the biggest junior golf tournament in the world, “The Callaway Junior World Golf  Championships.”   This tournament is held at the prestigious   “Torrey Pines Golf Course” in beautiful San Diego, CA.  The girls are looking forward to moving up the ranks in this world tournament.

2011 Jekyll Island Cup

The BirdieSisters played in their fourth Jekyll Island Cup this past weekend.  The tournament was held at Pine Lakes Golf Course on Jekyll Island in Georgia.  This is the girls opening tournament of the season, they haven’t been playing golf on grass since  late October.   When we left Chicago the temperature was 37 degrees with plans for snow that evening.  When we arrivered to Jekyll Island, the sun was out in full force and the tempeture was 91 degrees.  We played three practice rounds before the tournament but we needed many more.  Over all, for the first tournament of the year,  a 5th and 6th place finish is just short of where we want to be.  Erica Jackson brought home the first Jekyll Island trophy for the BirdieSisters by making the Top 5!  For More info see:  http://www.uskidsgolf.com/eng/regional/redirect.cfm?sectionID=b2c/tournaments/tournamentEventsResults.cfm&age_group_id=3&type=RC&location_id=4147&tournament_id=867.

Ted Rhodes “The Legend Tour”

The BirdieSisters played this weekend in Ted Rhodes “The Legend Tour,”  a 36 hole golf tournament at University Park Golf Course.  Day one was cool and raining with temps in the mid 60′s.  Erica shot an 80 and Myah was hot on her tail shooting an 82.  They were playing from a distance of 5208 yards.  Day two brought sunshine and blue skies in the mid 70′s.  Both girls had one of the best front 9s of the season shooting 37 (Erica) and 39 (Myah).  Their final day score was 78 (Erica) and 83 (Myah), which  put them 1st and 2nd on the leader board.
