1975 TIMELINE AND STORIES MGCC HISTORY
1975 February 2 “1975 Honors for Pioneers of Club”
“Men of the Year’ for the Miami Golf and Club during the
1975 are two Miamians who 55 years ago shared the most prominent roles of the
newly organized “Rockdale Country Club” and now are the only active charter
members of the club Miami.
At a meeting the past week, the board of directors of the
club voted honorary lifetime membership and other 55th club
anniversary recognition for: John A. Robinson, 1910 Lincoln Blvd, and Russell
(Russ) Hawk, 309 B. Northwest.
Robinson was the first president of the club and Hawk was
the club’s first golf champion, repeating as the title winner in 1921 and 1922.
In his playing days, Robinson performed satisfactorily on
the golf course. His son, John F. Robinson, won championships on the local
course and still is a strong contender in tournaments and regular play. David
Robinson, a third-generation member of the golfing family, has served on the
country club board.
John A. Robinson has retired as the board chairman of the
Miami’s First National Bank and now is advisor to the board. Robinson now is on
a winter visit to Florida.
Hawk, after serving with the U.S. Army in France during
World War I, moved to Miami and engaged in area lead and zinc mining
activities, including 35 years with DuPont Powder Co., from 1924 until
retirement.
The club originally had four holes with sand greens and a
two-room club house. Five more holes were added in the first year, 1920. The
present club house was built in 1928 and has had extensive improvements and
enlargement since then.
Grass greens replaced the sand around the nine holes in the
early 1930’s and since then the scenic course of 6,662 yards has drawn high
praise from visiting golfers, ranging from youngsters to top professionals.
The name of Rockdale club gave way to Miami Country club in
the early 1930’s and next became the Miami Golf and Country club in connection
with 1962-63 remodeling of the attractive club house.
Johnie F. Stapp has been the Miami club professional since February
1953. The original pro, Ed Dudley, and Ky Laffoon, the pro here in the early
1930’s, gained fame on the national Professional Golfers Association circuit.
For a complete history of the club click on this link Rockdale Country Club History 1916-1929
Leonard Ott, now retired in Florida, succeeded Laffoon. Jack
Guild was local pro from the late 1930’s until the early 1950’s. He now resides
in Shawnee; Ed Miller was the pro a year or so before Stapp took over the
duties.
1975 March 23 “Wardogs Rip Memorial’s Golf Team”
The Miami Wardogs, in their first golf competition of the
year, smothered the Memorial Eagles, 14 ½ to 1 ½ Friday afternoon on Joplin’s
Schifferdecker Municipal course.

medalist with an 86 for the 18 holes. Other scores for the Miamians were Wayne
Anderson 90, John Mirjanich 91, Kim King 97, and Chris Adkinson 100.

Freshman Sandy Jackson was medalist as the Miami junior high school
girls launched their golf schedule by blanking Joplin Memorial, 11-0 in the
nine-hole competition Friday at the Miami Country club.
With one point for being medalist, she defeated Jan Harrell,
3-0. All other players for Coach L.D. Bains’ Miami girls won their matches by
2-0 with:
Junior Pam Landers over Shelley Lanham; Freshman Jenny
Landers over Becky Yocum; Junior Ann Heyburn over Donna Schmidt; Sophomore
Chris Hester over Cheryl Bentlage.
The 1975 girls golf team was under the direction of Coach L.D. Bains this year. They placed first in the Springfield Invitational. The girls team went undefeated in 1975. Congratulations to our young women.
**Personal note: The Oklahoma Secondary School Association did not recognize girls golf in high school from 1963--1976. All girls who played during those years had no opportunity to play at the state level. I am most grateful to Miami High school's athletic department for sponsoring girls golf from 1968--76 even when the state did not support it. Title IX finally took affect at the state level in 1977.

all called her “Mabel.”
**Mabel was the
only woman in my childhood who told the young girls to call her by her first
name. That was quite unheard of in the 1950’s, 1960’s and into the 1970’s. I
didn’t even know some of the first names of the ladies at the club because I
was taught to use the proper names. LaRue Gaines, was the exception at the
country club. She often reminded me when I called her Mrs. Gaines, “I am not my
husband. Call me LaRue.”
Beverly Jackson is the tournament chairman. Committee
leaders include Karen Jeffries, favors; Fay Berentz, scorers; Evelyn Hatfield,
driving contest; Sue Enyart, breakfast; Yvonne Temple and Virginia Sapp,
