Golf Dad Tells Story…

Illinois has some of the top rated players in the country. Birdiesisters Erica and Myah Jackson feel lucky to compete with them. Gianna is Myah’s good friend from competition and we recently received this feed back of her experience at the PGA Golf Club Invitational 2008 (Giana played with the 9 year-old girls).

Did you see Gigis results in Florida? Check this out, with 2 holes 2 go she was in 2nd or 3rd overall, she hit a great 3rd shot into a par 5 just seconds after it poured for 10 minutes. It came up about 2 inches short of perfect and hit the bunker UNDER ( and i mean every extent of the word under) the lip and you could not see the ball! had it cleared the lip, seriously, it would have been within feet of the cup. She made a double, which wasnt bad considering the lie. Then on the last hole, the girl she tied with dropped a 12 foot sidehill putt! Then Gigis putt for par spun out. They tied and Gianna lost a 5 scenario tiebreaker!!!!! 5! can you believe it? so 5th place and no trophy.
