When I visit St. Andrews, I have to spend an hour tasting the wonderful scotches they have at the "Jigger Inn" before retiring. After 18 holes on the course, no matter how we've played, most of us look forward to refreshment at the clubhouse with friends. For many of us, it's a cold beer or a 'Guinness' if we're in the U.K. For others, it may be scotch or even an iced tea. The atmosphere in some “19th holes,” as the bar or pub is referred to, is unique and fosters more camaraderie than others. Everyone has their favorites that they frequent as often as they can.
My 10 favorite 19th holes are...
1. The Jigger Inn at St. Andrews Old Course Hotel in Scotland, where my son and I would have a "wee tasty" before retiring while on a golf trip in 2014.
2. The '19th' at the Humewood Golf Club in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, overlooks the 18th green, and where, as the resident golf professional, I spent many a pleasant evening.
3. The Tap Room in Pebble Beach and the Inn at Spanish Bay, where my partners and I go after our round during the Mizuno Pro-Am in February each year.
4. The Dunvegan Hotel is also in St Andrews, our first evening tradition each time I visit St Andrews.
5. The Pinehurst Resort is dripping with tradition.
6. The bar at Shooting Star in Jackson Hole, WY, overlooking the 10th hole (see below)
7. The Atlantic Room Bar at the Ocean Course at Kiawah, just looking over such a historic place, is a thrill.
8. The pub at Durban Country Club, which overlooks the 18th green.
9/10. And finally, the pubs at Lahinch and Ballybunion because any pub in Ireland will be fun!
