A challenging year for everyone…
Joy, sorrow, love, and heartbreak.
Moments filled with uncertainty and moments filled with magic.
It is time to turn the page and begin a new chapter.
We hope that the miracle of Christmas has enlightened you
And helped you achieve all that you desire.
Our wish is that 2010 will be a year of dreams fulfilled
For each end every one of you.
Happy New Year!!!

Birdiesisters Erica and Myah Jackson performed on stage today, Sunday June 14th, at the Harris Theater in Millenium Park.
Mayfair Academy of Fine Arts, which is located on the southside of Chicago, presented its students in their annual dance recital — “Mayfair Academy dances to Michael Jackson.” Myah performed in a jazz dance choreographed to “Shake Your Body” and a tap dance choreographed to “Rockin Robbin.” Erica performed in a hip-hop dance choreographed to “Bad” and a tap dance and show finale choreographed to “Thriller.” It was a great show and the BirdieSisters showed out!

This is a true story told by South Shore Golf Course starter, Ray Scudder.
Every morning most of the golfers like to start early, which means that the first tee will always be brimming with a crowd anxiously waiting to play. You will find a mix of good golfers, hackers and beginners shoulder to shoulder waiting to tee it up and go.
On this particular morning there was a good mixture of men and women waiting near the first tee. When I called up the next foursome it turned out that only one in the group could hit a good tee shot while the remaining three pummeled their balls about sixty yards down the fairway. The crowd at the tee began to mumble, mostly complaining about the expanded time commitment it seemed they would have to make that day to play nine holes. Most of the grumbling seemed to be from female members of the awaiting foursomes.
All of a sudden, from out of the parking lot emerged two three wheeled hand carts seemingly on remote control as they made their way to the tee. On closer inspection two little girls in fact were supplying the forward progress. They went directly to the side of the women’s tee and awaited my signal for them to tee it up. Again, the crowd began to grumble, obviously concluding that shorter hitting was on the way adding more time to their game that day. The muttering continued with the likes of, “now those kids are going to hold us up” and looks of exasperation to punctuate their dissatisfaction.
I called for two ladies to join the little girls, at which point one of them called out ” how old are those kids?” is a disdain filled retort. I calmly replied that they were 8 and 10 years old respectively. “Lady Complainer” expressed it would ” take all day” to play nine holes with “them.” To which I smiled and said, “maybe it will take all day for them…playing with you.” They didn’t appreciate my remark.
When it was time to tee off Myah, the younger of the two girls, pulled out her driver and began her practice swing routine which brought hushed comments about the impeccable form, balance and power to her swings. Then Erica (the elder) started her routine to the growing smiles on the faces of all at the tee. Show time!
The two “ladies” hit first and burned worms with neither of their balls traveling more than 50 yards off the tee. The sisters took the tee with a quiet, disciplined command of that patch of green. Each launched drives as straight as they were long leaving the crowd in a delighted state of shock. Myah and Erica politely waited for their fellow foursome mates to catch up and this became the pattern for the rest of the round.
I caught up with the group on the fifth hole and asked the ladies how it was going and they replied, “We are gettig a golf lesson from 8 and 10 year old golfers!”
While this was going on Myah and Erica’s proud father (and their coach) was always nearby watching; quietly guiding each daughter’s development, respect and appreciation for the game on hallowed ground…their home course, South Shore GC (Chicago).

The BirdieSisters have been selling Girl Scout Cookies for the last few months and they are closing down shop until early next year. As girl scouts, the BirdieSisters participate in community service activities that allow them to give back to their community.

Check out the BirdieSisters new Gallery. We are making many changes, so we can hold your interest. The local weather has been added, so you can see when the BirdieSisters can go outside and practice. They also have a new header, that rotates. Thanks for following, more to come.

The BirdieSisters made it to Jekyll Island and gave it their best. It was another exciting time on a prestigious golf course with kids from all around the United States and some from outside the states. The weather was in the low to upper sixties with some rain and winds. Nevertheless, the young golfers played like champions. They displayed confidence, focus and professionalism. Congratulations to a few of our friends from the midwest who finished in the top three. They proved that there is hope for golfers from cold weather states. One finished first in the boys 10-year old division and two finished 2nd and 3rd in the girls 10-year old division. We would also like to congratulate our friend from Virginia who won the girls 8 year-old division! Keep up the good work.
