MAJGT @ Winnetka Inviational
The BirdieSisters Erica and Myah Jackson played last weekend in the MAJGT’s invitational three day tournament at Winnetka Golf Course. The weather was cold. In fact, each day there was a frost delay with temps in the high 30′s at the start. It rained all day the previous day so the course was very wet, as were their feet. The BirdieSisters had not experienced these types of conditions during a golf tournament before, so controlling their ball was even more difficult. The course was 28 miles ( 36 mintues ) from home.
Each day brought new lessons in mental toughness and course management. This was not a tournament where “pace of play rule” came into effect, everyone was moving quckly because of the cold. However, the key was not to rush your shot. Day 1 had high winds, day 2 had ice on the greens — the coldest day of the 3 – and day 3 had a chance of rain. For the last two years, Chicago experienced temperatures in the 80s on this weekend. In any event, the BirdieSisters survived!
For everyone who came out, our hats go off to you, great job! For more info and stats on this tournament see : http://majgt.bluegolf.com/bluegolf/majgt9/event/majgt910/contest/7/leaderboard.htm .
