Stunning images show golfers undisturbed by volcano eruption in Hawaii
Despite the red alert now in effect, a few focused golfers were able to find the time to get a few holes.
Volcano Golf and Country Club is aptly named, but is reportedly safe from the path of the volcano for now. Sanae Gathwright, vice president of golf course operations, said that they're ready to move if that changes. "If something happens, we'll be out of here in minutes," Gathwright said.

Some playing the course posted photos of the scene to Instagram — it's tough to imagine a more difficult distraction than a natural disaster playing out in the background.
Elsewhere on the grounds, people passed on the fairways in favor of taking in the scope of the eruption.
The ash cloud of the eruption has reportedly reached as high as 10,000 to 12,000 feet above sea level.
Even off the course, some couldn't pass up the once in a lifetime opportunity for a good picture.
