Today I went back over to Évian to see the Évian Masters women’s professional golf tournament, which is held at a course up in the hills above Évian. The course itself was very scenic, with great views of the town and Switzerland across the lake.
The most impressive part of the day, however, was seeing in person how good the golfers really were. Though I’ve seen a lot of golf on TV, I was really struck by the level of talent. Anyone who has played golf knows how difficult of a sport it is, and these women were making it look so easy. That said, I did see a couple of shots during the day that looked like they could have definitely come from your average weekend foursome. Apparently, the golf gods don’t discriminate.
For most of the day, I just followed a couple of specific groups and explored the course. The weather was beautiful, so it was nice to just walk around. Towards the end of the day, though, I found a nice spot overlooking the 18th fairway and watched the final pairings coming in.

It ended up being an exciting finish as the two leaders both birdied the final hole and had to play a sudden-death playoff to determine the champion.
