BirdieSisters

Inaugural MAJGT At “Mill Creek” Captured By Erica Jackson

  BirdieSisters played in their first MAJGT tournament yesterday and today.  The MAJGT is a new junior golf league designed for those golfers who have demonstrated their ability to compete with the best junior golfers around the world.  Learn more about MAJGT at  http://www.ijga.org/majgt/about/overview.aspx

 It was a 36-hole tournament held at Mill Creek Golf Course in Geneva, IL.  With early tee times of 9:10am and 9:25am, the BirdieSisters were up at 5:00 am preparing to travel 90 minutes each way to Mill Creek.  The weather conditions for this tournament were not the greatest.  Yesterday at the start of play, it was about 55 degrees and drizzling.  However, mid-way through the tournament the sun came out and the temperature increased to around 75 degrees.  Today’s weather started out virtually the same as yesterday, except the sun never came out and the temperature didn’t rise above 63 degrees.   

 Both BirdieSisters Erica and Myah Jackson are competing in the Girls 11 and under division.  This is BirdieSister Myah Jackson’s first 36-hole tournament, covering 5300 yards.  Myah stated that she was up for the challenge.  Although Myah’s score on day one did not reflect that she could handle 36-holes, she managed to lower her score by 16 shots on day two.  Myah found a new level of play that we hope she never loses.  We will keep you updated on her progress.

 BirdieSister Erica Jackson played with an abundance of confidence on day one as she worked her game into a score of 82.  Day two was also impressive even though her short game didn’t measure up to her game in day one.  Overall, Erica had a very strong performance in this tournament.

Double Seconds For The BirdieSisters

     The Birdiesisters played in the Illinois Junior Classic  this weekend at St. Andrews Golf and Country Club in West Chicago Illinois.  Myah Jackson competed with the 8 and 9 year old girls and finished in 2nd place.  The theme here was rain, rain go away.  They were only able to play 5 holes in two days due to weather conditions.  Myah learned a valuable lesson in getting off to a good start and that’s what we went out for — the learning experience.

BirdieSister Erica Jackson’s  field was very strong, girls 10 and 11 years old.  She only had  a chance to finish  9 holes on the first day of  competition and then the rain came, and kept coming, so they went to the score card for the finish. Overall Erica’s play is about two steps ahead of pace, which is a very pleasant surprise.
