In other words, relax everybody, we will figure this out, just gotta shave a bit off here or there, and maybe add a little more cement. In 100 years you won’t even be able to tell.
I have to admit, part of me finds it fitting, even charming, that the most famous course in the world seemingly called over its buddy to redo the front porch. In many ways, it’s part of the reason we love the Old Course and linksland golf in general. It isn’t always perfect and pristine, and it doesn’t take itself quite as seriously as the game does over here. Of course, you can point to the white-haired men dressed in suits lording over the Old Course through windows of the R&A building behind the 18th green and say I’m crazy. But even there, among them, you get the sense that in the end it’s all just for fun and slightly absurd.
So before jumping on Twitter to shout that this is a disgrace to the game and someone should be fired, perhaps people should have taken a minute to think about why the bridge is in this condition. It happened because one of the greatest golf courses in the world transforms into a public park every Sunday, with families strolling about, kids running across greens, and dogs, well, doing dog things.
If you haven’t been to St Andrews, I suggest you go. It’s the greatest place in this vast world of golf. Stand on the Swilcan Bridge and take a photo. Patio or no patio, I promise you won’t be looking at the ground.
