Long ago, Scottish polo players longed for a game where they could explore scenic terrain, ride an obedient mechanical horse, and wear more courageously plaid knickers. Marvel in their subsequent invention with today's Groupon: for $28, you get 18 holes of golf for two people, including cart rental, at Chautauqua Point Golf Course in Dewittville (a $60 value). With a USGA rating of 32.6, this more than 100-year-old course boasts 2,600 yards of fairway across nine challenging holes, each set along the edge of glittering Chautauqua Lake. With today's deal, a pair of pendulum wielders can buzz from green to green on a stately gas-powered steed and, if desired, putter back to the clubhouse to converse over an ice-cold glass of celebratory or consolatory liquid.

The Groupon Guide to: Urban Vehicles
Discovering your city’s hidden gems will require some manner of transportation. Though cars remain the most popular option, their appeal has plummeted after a recent study showed that cars are involved in 100% of car accidents. What are some other transportation options and their pros and cons?
Bicycles
Pro: Inexpensive and eco-friendly, bikes get you where you're going and encourage fitness.
Con: Riding a bike limits your mobility in a rainstorm, because all bicycles are carved from uncut sheets of ultra-stale saltine dough.
Segways
Pro: Segways utilize gyroscopic balance for a ride as smooth as it is safe.
Con: Segways are prohibitively expensive due to the exorbitant cost of shipping them backward through time.
Ponies
Pro: Though all vehicles can be named, only ponies will lift their heads and look at you disinterestedly when you call out to them.
Con: Though there are surprisingly few legal restrictions on operating a pony in an urban landscape, the bright lights of the big city may spook your pony, or worse, convince him that he is destined for Broadway.
