Driving at Elkhorn Valley

Dad -- Elkhorn Valley Golf Course, Lyons, OR
Canon Powershot SD770 IS

That's my Dad hitting driver on one of my favorite holes on one of my favorite golf courses in Oregon.  Elkhorn Valley is an eighteen hole course in a secluded forest environment about twenty miles East of Salem.  It's an unforgiving round of golf.  Many of the fairways seem to have been cut out of the forest and and errant balls are sure to be lost in the dense undergrowth.  It's the only course I've ever been to that offers to replace any lost balls you may have had during the round.  It's a tough round of golf but it's hard to beat that setting.
