I knew somewhere on the edge of this town, exceptionally remarkable piece of land was waiting for me. As the road snaked along with roundabouts it made me wonder if we were ever going to get there. The one thing I was truly looking forward to on this trip was supposedly at the end of this road. I was glued to the window waiting, looking, waiting looking, for a peculiar building.

Named Tom Morris she was the iconic piece that held the fabric of this course together. Three hundred and sixty one yards long and a perfect finishing hole for a tourist like me and the pro golfers alike. She was almost just like number one except for one detail, the famous Swilcan Bridge. This marked the end of your journey. Made entirely of old cobblestones, it is as old as the course.

    similar feel is in Gallipoli by Peter Weir, when Frank and Archie are strolling across the salt plains, and nothing else is seen in the distance. From this scene we see a message of power and dominance, which we hardly ever see a female in, making the narrative a male one.
