Tight bermuda-grass fairways and encroaching water hazards coalesce for a scenic but challenging round at Bow Creek's lush, 18-hole, 5,917-yard course. The relatively short grassy monolith compensates for its diminutive stature with a layout that calls for pinpoint accuracy, as wayward spheres must negotiate their way past waters looming on 15 holes and squirrels stocking up on golf balls for winter. Players should resist the urge to get complacent after reaching any green in regulation, as sloping terrain and slick bent grass conspire to induce more three-putts than the most sinister of heckling flagsticks. Slow-starting swings may suffer, as the par 3 second hole demands a 178-yard tee shot into a daunting green guarded on the left, front, and back by a treacherous pond.

More aquatic hazards await golfers along the emerald alleyways of Kempsville Greens' 18-hole, 5,843-yard course. While water threatens to snatch the life-forces of unsightly slices and hooks on 12 holes, Kempsville clogs corridors bereft of water with a gauntlet of menacing bunkers. On the par 4, 441-yard eighth, a series of deep sand traps ensnare balls that stray to the right, aggressively affirming the hole's reputation as the course's most difficult and the most logical meeting place for the local caucus of sentient rakes. Rounds finish memorably at the par 4, 376-yard 18th, where players must negotiate the curvaceous fairway of a slight dog-leg left while avoiding four water hazards—two on each side, including one behind the green—before tapping the ball in the final hole and shot-putting their putter into the pond in a gesture of respect for the course.

Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Kitchen Basics
Whether you're a master chef or you thought that kitchens were just an old wives' tale and are only learning that they're real right now by reading this, you need a few basic cooking utensils to help you turn worthless, disparate ingredients into useable food. Every kitchen must have:
- One saucepan. This is a pan that you can melt down into a sauce.
- Ten mixing bowls. This allows you to mix 10 different ingredients separately so that they don't have to touch and get all over each other.
- Between six and seven stoves. If a "recipe" (that's just a snobby word for "food instructions") calls for a dish to be cooked at 300 degrees for 30 minutes, it's actually much faster to cook it for 10 minutes at a time in three different ovens set to 100 degrees.
- One refrigerator full of sharp knives.
- One whisk so that guests will see it and think you must really be good at cooking.
- One cutting board, which is a wooden block filed down to a serrated edge. You use it to chop vegetables, but you'll also want to have some sort of mat or hard, flat surface to cut them on.
- A family of chickens. They make food—eggs!—and turn into food! They're awesome.
- Nine 1-gallon jugs of olive oil. This delicious flavoring is used in practically every food instruction to make the food taste like olives.
