After our Rhine River cruise, we headed to Blonay, Switzerland to visit friends Mary and Jean-Marc Mommer. After a couple days in Blonay, we headed to Crans-Montana...the site of the European Masters Golf Tournament.
Our hosts in Switzerland - Mary and Jean-Marc
What a beautiful home in Blonay, located on Lake Geneva

The layout of the golf course
Mike with last year's winner, Matthew Fitzpatrick
The putting green. Notice one of the chalets? The course is surrounded by them. The town is an integral part of the course.
I was routing for Tommy Fleetwood all week. He told me I was his good luck charm!
Mike eyeing the Porsche at the course.
This course is spectacular
Rory McIlroy
Justin Timberlake played with Rory during the Pro-Am
Dennis Quaid played with Rory as well
Mike with Padraig Harrington
Sergio Garcia in shorts!
Justin needs to make this putt
I don't think Rory gives him much of a chance. LOL
Mary took Mike and I up to see the Château de Tourbillon ruins
Beautiful views
We also toured Valère Basilica, which was under reconstruction.

Sadly, Jean-Marc's mother (nearly 100) passed away while we were visiting
This is the church where the service was held. She was interred in the cemetery immediately behind the church.
