We recently asked the fans of our Twitter account and Facebook page who they thought would be the next big thing in golf. So far the answers are ranging from Ian Poulter to John Bigelow, a 3-year-old Philadelphia golf prodigy. If you’d like to weigh in, go to our Facebook page and share your thoughts. Since posing this question, we found a great blog post from Golf Girl’s Diary about the Birdie sisters.

The Birdie Sisters, Erica and Myah Jackson, are starting to make a big splash in the golf community around Chicago. Erica and Myah, age 11 and 9 respectively, have both clinched their age group’s Midwest Golf Association National Champion title. Most area golfers are expecting some big things from these sisters.

Technology is helping to play a role in their popularity, as well. The girls have a Web site and a Facebook page! Have you heard of the Birdie Sisters? Any other up and coming golfers we should know about?
