BirdieSisters

Mid-American Junior Golf Tour Event #3

On August 29th and 30th the Birdiesisters played in the Mid-American Junior Golf Tour’s 3rd event at Bonnie Brook Golf Course in Waukegan Illinois, 63 miles ( 1 hour 12 minutes) from home.  The temps were in the low 60s, windy and wet.  Erica Jackson managed to continue her winning streak in the girls 11 and under division.  Erica had a great back nine on the second day. Myah Jackson struggled with her short game on day 1 and struggled with the scorecard on day 2.   Because Myah failed to accurately record her score on hole number 17, she was disqualified (Myah did not have a caddie or a personal spectator at this tournament).  A hard but valuable lesson for Myah to learn at the very tender age of 9.   Expect to see Myah fighting back with a vengeance in her next tournament this weekend.  For more information about this tournament visit:  http://majgt.bluegolf.com/bluegolf/majgt9/event/majgt97/contest/7/leaderboard.htm .
