Myah Jackson Under Par Again!
BirdieSisters Erica Jackson and Myah Jackson played in the US Kids Local Tour event at “Sanctuary Golf Course” in New Lenox Illinois, 40 miles (55 minutes) form their home. The weather was overcast with a temp of 72 degrees at their start time of 2:57 p.m. There was on and off light rain throughout.
BirdieSister Myah Jackson played without a caddy or her own spectators today. Myah’s round was par, par, birdie, birdie, par, birdie, 2 pars and a double boggy. What a round for Myah, she is definitely in a groove! For the first time, Myah came back and issued a hole-by-hole report of her game, including her decision-making process. Specifically, Myah reported that when her opponent and good friend Haniya shot a birdie on hole number 2 and tied their scores, instead of getting emotional (like she has in the past), she focused her thoughts on “scoring under par golf.” It worked! BirdieSister Myah Jackson is growing up and taking control of her game, including her emotions. What a milestone for Myah!
BirdieSister Erica Jackson gained control of her emotions a few years ago. She has always been relatively calm and cool, never displaying much emotion — win or lose! However, lately she has been struggling to execute a comprehensive approach to her golf game — which is causing her some frustration. If its not her driver its her short game. For example, today Erica left her short game at home. Erica shot an 8 over-par, missing several make-able putts. Her driver did manage to find its way back, but the short stick came up short. Nevertheless, Erica grinded her way to first place. Erica will have several opportunities over the next few weeks to pull her entire game back together. Good luck Erica!
