| My parents, sisters and girlfriend all came to visit, and we took a guided tour of Fife (the region in central Scotland north of Edinburgh and the Firth of Forth) ending in St. Andrews. There were great sights everywhere, but this photo by itself made the trip worth it. This is the famous Swilcan Bridge on the 18th fairway of the Old Course at St. Andrews, perhaps the most recognizable site in golf. I can vividly remember watching Tom Watson kiss the bridge in his last Open Championship at St. Andrews; it's moments like that one that make this place truly golf's mecca. |

| Looking over the St. Andrews links from the garden atop the pro shop. The Old Course is just one of numerous courses surrounding the town; if I remember correctly, these fairways are part of the Jubilee course. |
 |
| The high altar of St. Andrews Cathedral, built in 1158 and a major pilgrimage site for several subsequent centuries. The cathedral fell into ruin in the 16th century, and only 2 1/2 walls remain. Mary, Audrey, Dad and Megan also made the photo. |
 |
| Looking down the 'nave' of the cathedral from the altar. From this vantage you can really get a sense of the sheer size, which is very impressive for a 12th-century church. |
