Mr MacWood:
With all due respect to you, sir, what you just listed there is real garbage. You have zero idea what Edward Weeks or anyone else at Myopia knew about Leeds' trips abroad, what he saw, what he used as ideas for Myopia etc.
The fact that for a number of days now you seem to completely conclude that since Weeks did not include in his history book some of these facts that he and Myopia did not or could not have known them. The fact that you clearly cannot understand why some club does not include EVERY SINGLE detail about the history of the club, the history and evolution of its architecture or its architect's life that YOU would like to see TODAY pretty much disqualifies you as even a remotely competent analyzer or observer of golf OR architecture. The fact is that information is available and Myopia is aware of it, understands it (all of its history this way), otherwise Mr Sears (and the others who understand and know where these assets are) would not have explained to me last night where IT IS!
This website is sophisticated, or should be, and it is my feeling that most anyone following and seriously considering these questions and these discussions should understand at once that you cannot sit out there in Ohio, never having been to Myopia, knowing noone there, knowing nothing of the "ethos" of the club, remembering nothing of Weeks history book, probably never having even seen it at all, knowing nothing about the clubs records and archives, its historians etc, etc, could not possibly be able to proclaim all of this as 'seriously flawed' as you have continuously done on these threads.
The fact is, Mr. MacWood, as per usual and as per your general modus operandi, you probably found some old article mentioning Willie Campbell designed Myopia (albeit probabaly inaccurate) and you are going to play this bit of trivial information that you probably feel so proprietary about as far as you possibly can. And why? There's no question it is just to promote yourself as this "expert researcher" which you have so shamelessly proclaimed yourself to be on here. This is precisely the same thing you did over five years ago with Merion when you found an article or two stating that Macdonald/Whigam had "advised and made suggestions" on Merion East. Apparently, you felt you'd discovered something theretofore unknown. You hadn't, the club had those articles in their archives probably from the day they were printed. We knew of them for years even if you never did. So did the club and they are reflected accurately into the history of the club as it has always been and been told.
You are not going to prove Myopia's history wrong, Mr. MacWood just as you never came close to proving Merion's history wrong. Will you ever remotely admit you failed at this? Of course not. One does need to ask why you try to do these things since they absolutely never work even if you constantly claim they do. Apparently you have no idea at all about how ungullible people really are, particularly people in and around these clubs.
You are going to write the revised history of Myopia and including Parker's relationship with Leed's??
You have just got to be joking. Go ahead and do it if you want. Nobody of any importance to these clubs and their architecture will be listening or taking it seriously. They will be laughing, as those who know these clubs are now, believe me I really do know, as I hear from them just about daily.
If someone is going to try to act as arrogantly as you do about what you know about some of these clubs you've never even seen, much less any of their records, Mr. MacWood, they pretty much need to have something to back it up with. You just don't, and when you float some bit of trivia (such as the prospect of some old newspaper article) then try to make a big deal out of it, then get called out on producing it and refuse to produce it day after day in this cat and mouse charade of yours, you can pretty much expect that you will get no respect from anyone who really matters on these clubs and subjects.
Carry on, Mr. MacWood, write your "revised" history of Myopia as you claim you will. I'm sure there are plenty who will be amused. I know I will be.
