People You Should Know

DR. MICHAEL (MIKE) KIRK

Managing Dentist, Owner Grand Dental Studio

Where did you grow up, and do you have a favorite childhood memory?

My family is originally from southeast Oklahoma and my early childhood was spent in Stringtown and later in Ada. We moved to Tulsa and I started at Jenks Schools when I was in eighth grade. My favorite childhood memory is spending summers helping on my grandparents farm and riding my bicycle back and forth to Stringtown on the gravel roads to get treats.

What did you want to be when you grew up?

I'm not sure, because during high school I mostly just thought about sports. I knew I liked science and enjoyed being creative, so I thought medical or dental school would be a good fit.

What are you most passionate about professionally?

I am passionate about many parts of dentistry. I love helping our patients and improving their lives using advanced general and cosmetic dentistry techniques. I’m also proud of the professional team we have at Grand Dental Studio. We are very intentional with our training, experience, and the services

Oklahoma City’s five municipal golf courses welcomed more golfers than ever before during Fiscal Year 2026, setting a record of 370,661 rounds played between July 1, 2025, and June 30, 2026.

The five Cityowned golf courses include Hefner, Lincoln Park and James E. Stewart in the northern side of OKC along with Earlywine and Trosper on the south side.

The milestone represents a systemwide increase of 42,532 rounds (13%) over the previous fiscal year and is the highest annual total ever recorded across OKC.

Every course experienced year-overyear growth, with Lincoln Park leading the system as the busiest course, hosting 97,765 rounds.

The addition of a new club house also helped continue a resurgence of golf at Lake Hefner and around the metro area. Courses throughout the United Stats trace an increase in yearly

golf rounds since the COVID pandemic in 2020.

Hefner, located in Fridayland, also reported record numbers in rounds played and overall revenue.

“We’ve exceeded last year’s numbers by significant margins,” head pro Brad Sliauter told FRIDAY in an interview earlier this summer.

“The course is in as good a shape as it’s ever been.”

The increase reflects growing participation in golf and the value Oklahoma City’s public courses provide as affordable places to play, learn and connect.

“Golf is one of the many ways Oklahoma City Parks and Recreation helps improve quality of life for our residents,” said Melinda McMillan-Miller, director of Oklahoma City Parks & Recreation.

“These recordbreaking numbers show that people are looking for affordable ways to spend time outdoors and stay active. Whether someone is picking up a golf

club for the first time or has been playing for decades, our municipal golf courses welcome players of every age and skill level.”

OKC Golf hosts a variety of local, regional and statewide tournaments throughout the year, including high school state championships, collegiate championships, Oklahoma State Amateur qualifiers, city championships and other competitive events that bring visitors and economic activity to Oklahoma City.

Beyond the fairways, OKC Golf courses serve as year-round community destinations. From lessons and junior golf programs to tournaments, restaurants, event rentals and scenic patios, each course offers experiences that extend well beyond a round of golf.

“Public golf has always been about bringing people together,” said LeeAnne Fairlie, chairman of the Oklahoma City Golf Commission and a 2012 inductee into the Oklahoma Golf Hall of Fame. “For generations, these courses have introduced young people to the game, created lifelong friendships, and provided places where friends and families can make memories together. Seeing record participation is exciting because it shows more people are discovering everything Oklahoma City municipal golf courses have to offer.” Tee times can be scheduled atokcgolf.com or by calling individual courses:

While youth sports participation is beneficial for many reasons, a growing number of child athletes are suffering overuse injuries.

Helping young athletes avoid overuse injuries

Participation in sports can be an ideal way for children to make new friends, get the recommended daily physical activity and learn important lessons they can apply throughout their lives.

While youth sports participation is beneficial, a growing number of child athletes are suffering overuse injuries. What are overuse injuries?

The American Academy of Pediatrics defines “overuse” as a child’s body not being able to keep up with the demands a certain activity places on it. For example, if a basketball player practices a threepoint shot for hours each day and goes on to play multiple games each week, there may not be time for the body to recover from the strain. An estimated 50 percent of all sports-related injuries in kids result from overuse, according to experts.

INTEGRIS Health in OKC says that overuse injuries create microtraumas that result from repetitively using the

same parts of the body. These injuries can affect bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments.

What are the symptoms of overuse?

Pain and inflammation often are early symptoms of an overuse injury. Performance may falter due to the injury, and playing through the pain can make it worse and ultimately sideline young athletes. What are the most common overuse injuries?

According to INTEGRIS Health, the most common overuse injuries include:

• Jumper’s knee (patellar tendinitis), which is characterized by tenderness right below the knee or upper shin area.

• Avulsion factures, which occur when a piece of a growing athlete’s growth plate separates from the rest of the bone.

• Little League elbow or Little League shoulder, which is pain in these areas that develops after an activity like throwing a ball.

• OsgoodSchlatter disease,

which is painful irritation and swelling from the constant pulling of the patellar tendon on the area below the knee.

• Sever’s disease, which is heel pain that typically emerges after running or jumping. Can overuse injuries be prevented?

Johns Hopkins Medical says diversification can help prevent overuse injuries. That means playing different sports or activities so athletes are not continously putting stress on the same muscles and joints.

Parents can limit the number of teams their children are on at any given time, and facilitate and encourage rest between practices and games. Coaches also need to recognize that pushing athletes too far can lead to injury and is not in the best interest of the team or the athletes.

Overuse injuries are something young athletes, their parents and coaches can work to prevent so kids can reap the many benefits of youth sports participation.

That’s Entertainment

When I heard that the ICF World Championships for kayak and canoe were coming to Oklahoma City two years before the Olympics, I thought that was a perfect opportunity to highlight what is great about our city and state. If we could make those 300 athletes and coaches fall in love, we could send them back to their home countries as outspoken advocates for Oklahoma City.

Unsolicited, I wrote a fifteen-minute script for the Opening Ceremony for the World Championships. It started at the First Americans Museum with a Native American drum circle, ceremonial dancers, and 39 canoers representing each of the tribes heading down the Oklahoma River to Riversport OKC. As they crossed under the interstate bridge, one thousand drones would emerge and transform into a giant canoe in the sky. The Flaming Lips would play atop the bridge.

Once they landed at Riversport, flaming torches would be passed to local dignitaries like NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous Alexander and Olympic Champions Bart Conner and Nadia Comaneci. Then a Devon Boat would come out from under the bridge to present the National Anthem featuring Oklahoma’s Three Tenors: Blake Shelton Vince Gill, and Garth Brooks I was channeling my inner Lee Allen Smith. Fireworks. Jet flyovers. Parachuters. Crowd goes wild. Let the World Championships begin.

Super excited, I emailed the script to Riverport founder Mike Knopp. I knew Mike was going to be involved in everything. He loved the idea. He wasn’t sure about the funding. Instead, he asked me to come on board as Entertainment Chair and help them figure it out.

I created a committee. We met and brainstormed for a few months. We knew we needed to make the athletes feel at home and have a good time. We knew we wanted to highlight as many local artists, musicians, and performers as possible. So, we split into two groups: athlete engagement and performance.

Athlete Engagement was led by Krystal Yoseph and Monty Milburn with Brent Johnson Brenda Hernandez Melissa Scarmucci, Brian Bogert, Jean Folger, Tim Troilo Matthew Woodson, and Denise Duong

A month ago, they sent the athletes and coaches videos of great attractions, maps of the different districts, restaurant discounts, and bar suggestions. This week, they launched daily free excursions to museums, galleries, and public art tours and gatherings at local bars and restaurants at night. And they gave each visitor a deck of cards featuring art from local artists Ebony Iman Dallas, Tanner Muse, Michah Wesley and Denise Duong, who came up with the idea.

This Saturday, July 18, at 7:00pm, we will kick off a full week of live music and dance performances at Riversport with an Opening Ceremony featuring ten awesome bands and dance companies and 300 athletes and coaches from 60 different countries. The show is free and open to the public.

Next week, we will host two bands every day at lunch with a closing ceremony next Saturday, July 25. Each day, we will offer one free stage outside the venue by the Route 66 Car Exhibition programmed by Noah Engh and one inside the venue managed by Cooper Anderson.

On the performance side I am coproducing the Opening and Closing Ceremonies with Amy Young and Hui Cha Poos. Our fantastic team includes Rachel Cannon, Paige Shepherd, Salvidor Ontiveros, Kindt Steven Myers, and Jabee Williams.

Please come to the free Opening Ceremony on Saturday at 7:00pm. Then come back next week, July 2026, and show these 300 athletes and coaches from around the world as much love and support as you can. This is our first impression to the athletes coming for the Olympics in two years. Let’s make it amazing.

‘70s disco and funk band Super Freak closes out the night.

Out West Music Fest debuted in 2025, transforming West Vil-

lage into a music-lover’s destination with live performances, and a vibrant street festival atmosphere. This year’s event builds on that momentum, bringing another unforgettable night of music and community to downtown Oklahoma City.

we offer. We don’t take shortcuts. It takes a lot of focus and effort to provide the best care and customer service every day, which makes me very proud of my team. Has your definition of success changed as you’ve developed your career?

Most people would call me a motivated and driven person, but over time I’ve learned that things change and evolve and usually work out for the best. I don’t let stress get to me as much as I did when I was younger, so I think I’m more relaxed now. My definition of success has changed to just having more time to relax, exercise and watch my two sons grow into adults. What is a perfect day for you?

My wife, Sandra, and I have established a wonderful Friday routine. We walk our two German Shepherds, Noble and Atoka, through Grand Park in Nichols Hills and attend a gentle yoga class at Oklahoma City Golf and Country Club. I also participate in a virtual dental education course around midday, and then we enjoy lunch at a new spot each week. This fall, our evenings will

be dedicated to watching our younger son, a senior at Heritage Hall School, play football as we cheer on the Chargers.

What is some of the best advice you’ve received in your life?

Time seems to move faster as you get older so remember to enjoy this moment, this day and who you spend it with as it will not come again.

What is No. 1 on your bucket list?

I am really looking forward to traveling with my wife in the future. We have loved every minute of family life, but next year we will enter the empty nest phase. I owe my wife a honeymoon since we never took one. For many years, our lives have revolved around our family, work and our children's activities. We both had a lot of obligations at an early age. We spent many years caring for Sandra’s wonderful parents. It will be nice to explore travel and other hobbies. However, Sandra has asked that I not retire any time soon! Oklahoma has had an amazing sports history, which has featured a lineup of individuals such as Mickey Mantle, Shannon Miller, Jim Thorpe, Patty Gasso, etc. Did you have any sports heroes growing up?

Johnny Bench and the Cincinnati Reds were one of my favorite teams as a young boy. The fact he is from Oklahoma just made it better.

How would you like to be remembered?

I haven't thought much about that. I try my best to stay focused on the present and do good work for my family, my community and the people I help at work. You mentioned community. What organizations are you involved in?

I have to mention our church, St. Luke’s Methodist (downtown). It is a great part of our city. Sandra and I also support the Oklahoma City Ballet and Oklahoma Contemporary. We love helping the arts in Oklahoma City. What is one question I haven’t asked you that you would like to answer?

How about advice for young people? I believe in hard work and discipline. I also think you have to be able to quickly recover when life gets difficult. Small, steady steps add up over time. Young people should focus on making progress instead of being perfect, and try to let go of disappointment and self-doubt. Keep going; change directions if you need to; and be thankful. Gratitude goes a long way in this life.

Dear Wise Elder: My husband and I have no children. We have made careful plans, including a trust, and engaged the services of a company to manage the trust when we are both deceased. Is there a company that we can engage to become our care managers to handle onsite activities and daily living, transportation and completely manage our care at that stage of the game?

Dear Seeking a Care Manager: The National Academy of Certified Care Managers (NACCM) has a registry. Check for one in your area. But

even more readily available may be a local younger adult who is wise and kind and capable of doing that for you on a one-on-one basis. There must be a high degree of trust between caregiver and client making this a very personal agreement. It works best when you find a younger person with whom you develop a trust relationship and talk frankly in advance about the expectations and fees. You will likely find one at your church or in VillagesOKC.

Mahjong: A game of tiles, friendship, community in Quail Creek

What started as four women gathering around a Mahjong table in a home has grown into a lively group of friends, laughter and connection right here in Quail Creek.

Mahjong has become increasingly popular and it’s easy to see why. While the game itself is engaging and fun, it’s the social connection that keeps women coming back. Mahjong creates a reason to gather, slow down, laugh, learn and enjoy time together. It brings women to the same table — building friendships one game at a time.

Every other week, these Mahjong enthu-

siasts come together not only to play, but to reconnect with friends they genuinely look forward to seeing. The excitement begins before they even arrive. They come happy, ready to play and eager to catch up. The game may be the activity, but the friendships are the real win.

As the group grew, members were fortunate enough to move from a home setting into an empty office suite — and, of course, the women quickly transformed it into the perfect Mahjong gathering space.

When women create a space, they

make it beautiful!

The room is bright, welcoming and full of personality. Colorful chairs, cheerful touches and beautifully displayed Mahjong sets make it feel less like an office and more like a place where friendships flourish.

And the Mahjong sets themselves are a work of art. From vibrant colors and

unique designs to creative themes, each set brings its own personality to the table. (And yes, for the true Mahjong lovers, there are even sets made to float in the pool!)

What began with just four players has quickly grown into a wonderful community of women who enjoy learning, laughing and spending time together. Mahjong is the reason they gather, but the friendships, memories and joy are what keep them coming back.

As one of the women shared, “We laugh as much as we play. It’s not just about the game — it’s about the friendships we’ve made and the fun we have together.”

In Quail Creek, it’s another beautiful example of what happens when neighbors come together and create something special.
