OPEN Championship week is now upon us, with the world's best golfers beginning to arrive at Royal Troon.

The competition proper begins on Thursday, July 18, though some competitors are already in Ayrshire with practice rounds beginning on Sunday, July 14 and continuing until Wednesday.

As well as allowing fans to get their first glimpses of the players - with the likes of Tiger Woods amongst those testing out the links already - practice has allowed an opportunity for a first look behind the ropes in South Ayrshire.

And some of those who came to Royal Troon this week have given us a look at something which will be almost as important as the golf to those attending the tournament in later days.

That is of course the price of various drinks which are to be available from the numerous bars situated throughout the venue.

Deputy editor of golf magazine Bunkered, Michael McEwan, shared an image of the bar menu after he arrived at Royal Troon to cover the first practice day.

This showed that the price of a pint of beer for those enjoying the tournament will be £7.50.

The pint of choice, in terms of lager, will be the Thai brewed Singha. Also available at the same price will be Whistable Bay black stout or the same company's pale ale.

For cider drinkers, Orchard View will be the beverage available on draft - costing £7.50.

Meanwhile, a 125ml glass of AR Lenoble champagne will cost those attending the Open £14. The same measure of prosecco comes in at £9, and all 187ml glasses of wine will set you back £8.

Various spirits are also on offer, from Ben Lomond Scottish Gin and Loch Lomond Whiskies. 

Each spirit price various anywhere between £6-8, though some come pre-mixed.

There are a few, slightly cheaper, alternatives with a Martell VS brandy, Two Drifter rum and spiced rum and Sapling vodka costing £5.50 for a 25ml measure.

Also included on the menu are a number of non-alcoholic alternatives and soft drinks.

Most soft drinks are priced at £2.50, though still and sparkling water are slightly cheaper at £1.50.

Crisps and chocolate are also available behind the bar, costing £2 and £1.50 respectively.
