I have reached my original goal of researching the Miami Golf and Country Club from 1916-1984. I wish I could say there will be a book, but 100,000 words would make it the size of "Crime and Punishment" by Dostoevsky. The blog will remain online until such time that "Blogger" no longer exist. This is the basic link <https://mgcchistory.blogspot.com>
With fingers crossed and a handful of prayers, I may have an edited version of our shared history in booklet form by July 24. If I reach that goal I will bring several copies with me to sell, along with dad's bag full of antique clubs, golf books, and perhaps other golf memorabilia to share or donate to the Dobson Museum.

George Coleman's vision to bring the world to Miami has been achieved and I believe with the leadership in Miami now, that folks will continue to visit a small town on Route 66 with a "Golden Coleman Theater" and history rich enough to touch the lives of people over 100 years later.

My plan is to continue adding to our shared blog about the growth and demise of the country club. The golf course continued to survive and thrive after BFG shut down in March of 1986.

Now, Miami can be proud of the Peoria Ridge Golf Course. I have played it several times. Some of our history was continued with the changes and new ideas grew, such as, the Dudley Cup.
From 1985---2010 will be "Their Stories". I hope you continue to follow along in our journey to look back at where we came from and the moments in Miami, Oklahoma that defined our lives.
In the meantime, you may continue to follow or look back at these stories on this link Miami Ok country club history or google "Letty Stapp Watt" or "Literally Letty."
I hope to see many of you and your families at the reunion and Heritage Fest July 25,26, and 27, 2024 in Miami.
