Once again the Birdiesisters would like thank the Tiger Woods Foundation for accepting them on the 2011 Tiger Woods National Junior Golf Team. This is a very high honor! Special thanks to Ms. Stacy Stark (Director, tournament services) and all those involved in making this decision. This honor permits the girls to play in what some would say is the biggest junior golf tournament in the world, “The Callaway Junior World Golf Championships.” This tournament is held at the prestigious “Torrey Pines Golf Course” in beautiful San Diego, CA. The girls are looking forward to moving up the ranks in this world tournament.

The weather was perfect for golf when the BirdieSisters arrived in San Diego, CA on July 9, 2010 – sunny and low to mid-70s. They joined over 1000 junior golfers from over 60 different countries at this prestigious event where only the best golfers are allowed to participate. Practice rounds went really well for the BirdieSisters, who were playing at very elite golf courses. Myah played 18 short holes at the Lomas Santa Fe Executive Golf Course and Erica played 18 long holes at The Country Club of Rancho Bernardo.
Both Erica and Myah experienced 2 days of decent – good golf play. However, both Erica and Myah also experienced one day of course challenges. Erica couldn’t buy a putt and Myah lost 3 balls (one never came out of a tree, one went out of bounds, and one dropped in the water). Although they didn’t come close to winning their divisions, they managed to put up respectable scores most days and Myah managed to finish in the top half of her division. As with any world championship, one bad day keeps the trophies away. For more information about the results visit:
