According to recent photos, changes have been made to the Swilcan Bridge at the Old Course

The Swilcan Bridge at the Old Course is believed to be 700 to 800 years old. Originally a passageway for livestock to make its way over the burn, the Swilcan has often been used by the game’s greatest players to say their goodbyes. Jack Nicklaus, Tom Watson, and most recently, Tiger Woods —only time will tell if it was Woods’ final curtain call at St. Andrews.

It’s a landmark of the game that should be left untouched — or at least we thought.

According to recent photos, a garden patio has been added to its entrance.

What are your thoughts on the changes? Should it have been left alone?
