ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — Some people dance on it. Others gaze from it. Some people get engaged on it. Others hang from it. One woman flew across an ocean to sprinkle her golf-loving husband’s ashes beneath it.
Of all the storied parts to the Old Course here, the Swilcan Bridge — that stone arch on the 18th hole that swoops over the only water hazard on the course — may be the most transcendent. It is historic, it is charming and it is, without doubt, a place where a lot of weird things happen.
Everyone knows that photographs at the bridge are all but required.
