One of the pleasures in traveling to Switzerland for this week’s Omega European Masters is to be afforded the courtesy of  playing the Jack Nicklaus designed 9-hole course just across the main street in Crans Montana from the main tournament venue.

And the weather this week has been exceptional with almost everyone in shorts including your author as you will note from the photographs below.
