Paul McGinley stated that you cannot ground your club on a bridge over a water hazard and Ewen Murray agreed.
"A Bridge is an obstruction. In a hazard, the club may touch an obstruction at address or in the backward movement for the stroke. Touching the bridge prior to address is also permissible, since an obstruction in a water hazard is not "Ground in the hazard"
This applies even if the bridge has been declared an integral part of the course."
