BirdieSister Erica Jackson Plays “Flagg Creek”
The Illinois Junior Golf Association started its season for the 10-11 year old girls and boys on Friday, June 12th. The first tournament was held at “Flagg Creek Golf Course” in Countryside, Illinois — approximately 20.5 miles from home (approx. 40 minutes). Erica’s tee time was 8:46 a.m. Taking the morning rush hour traffic into consideration, we departed home at 6:30 am. When we left the house it was 51 degrees with light rain. By the start of the tournament it was in the mid-60s, and by the 9th hole turn it was 77 degrees without a cloud in the sky.
BirdieSister Erica Jackson is trying to focus more on her start, but today was not the turning point. The greens changed speeds two or three times during the round, making putting even more difficult. She started slow again but managed to overcome some formidable competition.
