Every year, millions of innocent tees are hacked down, which in turn leads to earth-despoiling divots that cause bad golfers to erupt in ozone-destroying temper tantrums. Contribute to over-par pollution with today's Groupon: for $42, you get an 18-hole round of golf plus golf-cart rental and a bucket of range balls (up to an $88 total value) at Ballymeade Country Club in East Falmouth. There is no buy limit, so feel free to bring enough for your entire fearsome foursome.
Ballymeade Country Club rolls out nature's shag carpet with 18 holes of golf (a round costs up to $80, depending on date and time of day) peppered throughout a meticulously maintained and sprawling landscape of glassy waters, grassy hills, and gassy sand traps. Because the club's crybaby lawyer thinks it's a liability, the sand traps are no longer quicksand. As you and your band of brothers enjoy public play on this semi-private golf course overlooking Buzzards Bay, you'll get to journey from hole to hole atop a 12-mile-per-hour speed-steed of a golf cart, arriving at each new challenge to the uproarious applause of your custom ringtone. Before launching dimpled astronauts into the Ballymeade moon's 18 plastic craters, you can warm up your number-one wood with a bucket of golf balls ($8) at Ballymeade Country Club's driving range.
This Groupon can be redeemed at any time, except on major holiday weekends. Check Ballymeade Country Club's tee times to determine the best time for unleashing your foul-mouthed fury upon Falmouth fairways.

Animal Moms
As Mother's Day approaches, it's important to remember all the mothers in the animal kingdom. Here's what you didn't know about the mothering techniques of some animal species:
- Elephants: As soon as baby elephants hatch, their mothers hurl them into trees so they can hone climbing skills and avoid predators.
- Penguins: While it appears that mother penguins are providing their young with a pre-digested, nutrient-rich fish mash, they are actually throwing up because baby penguins are so hideous.
- Lions: Mother lions sometimes eat their young, but you wouldn't blame them if you've ever tried baby lion.
- Seahorses: Lazy seahorse moms don't do anything.
