In conjunction with Tom Walker’s "Gathering of Wardogs" we are hosting a Miami Golf and Country Club gathering. In July of 2024 it will have been 40 years since our old club burned to the ground. I plan to have the history collected from 1916--1984.
Please join the Stapp family and all former members, staff, and friends of the Miami Golf and Country Club for our Reunion all day July 27 at the Dobson Museum.

*The golf course plans are crucial for signing up. We have only so many spaces. If we fill up by April we will ask for more tee time slots, but after that I cannot guarantee there will be more tee times available. Yes, all classmates and/or spouses are invited to play golf or simply enjoy being there. It is a reunion.
