Vacation

We enjoyed our summer golf vacation. It was hot, dry and high humidity. Just how I like it.

We left Eureka Springs on Thursday morning and headed to NW Arkansas to play a course that I have heard about for a long time. We played golf at Farmington, Arkansas, at Valley View Golf Club.

It was a nice 18 hole course set in the Ozark Mountains. The front nine was a links course and the back nine was played in the hills and canyons. It was a difficult back nine but enjoyable.

After the golf we headed to the Illinois River to cool off. Debbie and I had visited the Illinois about 25 years ago. It brought back some great memories. We stayed in Tahlequah, Oklahoma on Thursday night.

Friday, we played golf at Cherokee Trails a beautiful nine hole course on the Cherokee Indian grounds in Tahlequah. We really enjoyed the course. It had rolling hills and large fairways that were well irrigated. We enjoyed visiting with the golf pro about the history of the course.

After the golf we headed to Tulsa for dinner and the night at my parents.
