In early June, Erica played on the USA Mid-West Team in the World Youth Challenge, a 4-day tournament with teams from across the country and around the world. Though her team didn't win, they remained competitive and the team golf experience was a valuable one according to the elder Birdie sister, who turned 12 not long ago.

At the end of June both Birdie Sisters were huge winners at the Country Youth Classic in Bloomington, IL. Myah won the long-drive, putting and overall short game contests, Erica won putting and short game... and both "brought home the gold" in their age group by winning the 2-day, 36 hole tournament.

So that's a brief update on he exciting, action-packed lives of Myah and Erica Jackson. We hope to resume our radio show in the fall once things calm down a bit, and maybe we'll even consider that reality show one of these days. In the meantime be sure to visit the Birdie Sisters' website for current updates.
What adorable, talented young ladies! But, how many parents do they actually have? I could have never kept up with such a schedule, so I commend their parents for their stamina & fortitude... Thanks for the great update. I look forward to hearing more of these little muses....
ReplyDeleteThese days kids have to work like that, from a very young age in order to have any kind of hope of ever making it. Too bad about the money issues. I hope they'll be able to get some sponsorships to be able to attend all possible tournaments.
ReplyDeleteI agree that it is a shame about the financial constraints they're encountering but the flexibility of the parents is amazing!
ReplyDeleteI love what Erica and Myah are doing and their dad is such a positive influence on them. They are non-stop with their activities and interests and good for them. Hey, they are both pretty darn good golfers as well...
ReplyDeleteI love that pic you added of Myah using her Sweet Spot Putter...Yea!
Go girls Go!
They remind me of the Williams sisters, but instead for tennis, golf. With all of this hard work I'm sure it will pay off! I wish them the best!
ReplyDeleteHopefully they are still enjoying the game and have good balance.
ReplyDeleteThey are truly amazing young athletes! I hope their enthusiasm for golf lasts through the years. It can be hard to balance youth and sports these days.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck in future tourneys
to both incredible young ladies!
