Sleeping in the same bed every night can often result in back pain, boring dreams, and shockingly undignified territory wars with the family dachshund. Maintain your self-respect with today’s Groupon: for $99, you get a weeknight stay, breakfast, and 18 holes of golf for two at Blackhead Mountain Lodge & Country Club in Round Top (a $200 value).
The newly renovated Blackhead Mountain Lodge & Country Club is cozily nestled in the picturesque foothills of the Catskill Mountains, and the inn’s 22 rooms—which are split up among a handful of smaller cabins—feature striking views of the surrounding scenery. A weeknight stay for two is an ideal opportunity for pairs of lodgers to gaze into one another’s eyes or watch The Making of “Thriller” on the wall-mounted LCD TV. The next morning, feast on breakfast fare in the rustic clubhouse before enjoying an 18-hole game of golf, cart included, on the greens, which were carved into the natural terrain to create a scenic and naturally challenging course. The lodge also features an outdoor pool and a fitness center, so anyone training for a two-step marathon can stay on top of their game.

The Groupon Guide to: Beating the Heat
Since summer's last scheduled appearance was four years ago, you may have forgotten how to stay comfortably cool. Here are some tips to help combat the blistering heat:
• Pay a visit to the ice-cream truck, or if there isn't one nearby, throw a handful of change at any car playing loud music. Nine times out of 10, you'll be rewarded with an ice-cream sandwich.
• Take a dip in the community pool. It's safer now since the staff removed the tunnel slide where all those kids rightfully acquired their intense claustrophobia last summer.
• Call your local fire department and politely request that they stop doing nothing to come and spray you with their hoses.
• Frozen pizza? Keep it that way. For too long, this icy meal has been ravaged by ovens that disregard its intended state as a frosty, brittle food disk.
• Get out of the heat and take a summer-school class. They're just as challenging as regular classes, except all the answers to science questions are opposite because of Earth’s tilted axis.
