Both girls move up in age group this year Myah, moves into the 11 and 12 age group, while Erica will play 13 thru 18. It’s early in our season but we are looking forward to see were we stand.

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.

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!

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.

Everyone played from the same distance of 5307 yards. For more info see: http://www.cpdgolf.com/Events_808c428684187.html.

After arriving home from San Diego around 12:30am on Friday, July 16th, the BirdieSisters jumped in bed only to get up a few hours later to pack for and travel to the Mid-West National Junior Golf Championships in Lima, Ohio. We arrived in Lima, Ohio around 7:00pm. Although there was not enough time for a full practice round, the BirdieSisters rode the course and practiced shots until after 9:00pm.
The BirdieSisters hit the first tee at 8:30am Saturday morning at Hawthorne Hills Golf Course in Lima, Ohio. Erica played the 18 hole outside course and Myah played the 9 hole inside course. The temperatures were in the 90s and sunny, in other words it was HOT. The greens presented a challenge for the BirdieSisters because they needed to make significant adjustments in their putting. They had spent the last 6 days putting on very fast greens in San Diego, only to be faced with very slow greens in Lima. This was a good test for the BirdieSisters, forcing them to make adjustments under pressure. Overall, they managed to pass the test.
Although Erica was competing within the girls 12-13 division, she was paired with three17 year-old girls because of her golf skills. Erica had the lowest score in her foursome both days. Not only did Erica win her division, but she also finished with a score lower than all but 3 graduating seniors in the entire Junior Girls division ages 12-18.
For the second year in a row, Myah came away from this tournament with 3 trophies. Myah won the Medalist award for having the lowest one-day score of all the Pee Wee Girls division – 3 over par; she won the overall Champion award for having the lowest two-day combined score of all the Pee Wee girls (ages 11 and under); and finally, Myah won her division, girls ages 10-11. Because of her outstanding performance on day 1, Myah was interviewed by a local radio personality on live radio.
Congratulations BirdieSisters and we hope you can continue your winning streak throughout the rest of the golf season! For more info see:http://www.midwestgolf.net/Default.aspx?tabid=746139.

The weather was perfect for golf when the BirdieSisters arrived in San Diego, CA on July 9, 2010 – sunny and low to mid-70s. They joined over 1000 junior golfers from over 60 different countries at this prestigious event where only the best golfers are allowed to participate. Practice rounds went really well for the BirdieSisters, who were playing at very elite golf courses. Myah played 18 short holes at the Lomas Santa Fe Executive Golf Course and Erica played 18 long holes at The Country Club of Rancho Bernardo.
Both Erica and Myah experienced 2 days of decent – good golf play. However, both Erica and Myah also experienced one day of course challenges. Erica couldn’t buy a putt and Myah lost 3 balls (one never came out of a tree, one went out of bounds, and one dropped in the water). Although they didn’t come close to winning their divisions, they managed to put up respectable scores most days and Myah managed to finish in the top half of her division. As with any world championship, one bad day keeps the trophies away. For more information about the results visit:
