I then headed to The One Under ...
... conveniently located underneath the Rusacks Hotel, where Jack Nicklaus stayed when he came to play the Open.

Rusacks and The One Under are located here ...
... to the right of 18 fairway. (And, as you can see, the outside patio is dog-friendly.)

I went with the Golden Ale ...
... apropos, I thought, since the Golden Child is going for his third major in a row this week.

I found a seat with a pillow I liked ...
... because yes, that is an important detail. (Ambience, people.)

Just kidding. I asked a family sitting nearby ...
... if I could photograph their meals, including this hamburger.

I was happy with my decision ...
... (Don't I look happy?)

I made my way to the Dunvegan Hotel ...

The Dunvegan ...
... is a favorite of fans and players, alike.

I decided to forego a beer ...
... as I had already made a visit to the Dunvegan earlier in the week.

Onward ...
... to the Jigger Inn.

Which is located here ...
... just to the right of the 17th fairway.

You can sit outside ...
... and enjoy the golf. And your beer.

I, however, spent my time inside ...
Getty Images
24 / 38
Where I made a friend! ...
... Doesn't he look ecstatic to have made my acquaintance?

Next door to the Jigger Inn is the Old Course Hotel ...
... which wouldn't let me inside.

This fine establishment, however ...
... would have let me inside, had I opened the door and walked in.

But I was a little distracted by nearby Luvians Bottleship ...
... which is the oldest bottleshop in St. Andrews. (We Americans call these "liquor stores.")

This is the whiskey purchased by ...
... PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem upon his arrival to St. Andrews, as told to me by the manager of Luvians Bottleshop.

They are delicious and low in calories ...
... one of these things simply is not true.

A bar called Criterion ...
... was my final stop.

33 / 38
Let's just say it met my ...
... yeah yeah yeah, you know where I was going with that.

I took more photos of other people's food ...
... like this beef stew.

And this ham panini ...

And for those of you at home wondering ...
... the answer is: Yes, there are Starbucks in St. Andrews.

And this is where my food and beverage tour ended ...
... in the media center. This tour is Open ... and closed.
