Golf parallels life in that the only way to escape rough patches is through aggressively swinging a club at something. Power through obstacles with today's Groupon: for $45, you get a golf outing at Riverfront Golf Club in Suffolk (up to a $192.50 total value). The outing includes the following items:
- Three 18-hole rounds of golf (up to a $49.50 value each)
- Three buckets of driving range balls (an $8 value each)
- One cart fee (a $20 value). Cart rental is only included for the first round of golf. Players must pay an additional $20 fee for each subsequent round.
Famed course architect Tom Doak sculpted Riverfront Golf Club’s 18-hole course through a scenic expanse of lush, waterfront terrain along the Nansemond River. Forgiving fairways characterize the course, providing ample landing space for shots that bisect the towering oaks, sycamores, and ball-hungry squirrels that loom in the long-grass rough. The grassy monolith seamlessly incorporates natural marshes, waterways, and native tall grasses into its layout, as all but three holes are framed by a natural landmark on at least one side. Rounds conclude with breathtaking flair, as players must contend with the 500-yard, par 5 18th hole, where second shots must clear an immense pond that takes up the entire fairway on the way to reaching the green in regulation. Players receive a bucket of driving range balls for each round, and the deal includes cart rental for the first round. Carts must be rented for the final two rounds for two additional $20 cart fees.

The Groupon Guide to: the New Year’s Eve Ball Drop
People all over the world celebrate New Year's Eve by watching the ball drop in Times Square, and the ball itself has a come a long way from the papier-mâché wad engulfed in flames that rang in the new year back in 1904. Here's a look at today's cutting-edge ball:
Size: The ball is a scale model of earth, so its size changes every year to match the diminishing diameter of a planet slowly being trampled by its inhabitants.
Material: The ball is constructed from the finest Waterford crystal and held together by several hundred Pepsi stickers.
Contents: Traditionally, the ball is filled with:
• One animal from every species
• Children's letters to Santa
• All the extra money that the year's millionaires are tired of
• The oft-expunged choose-your-own-adventure Bible chapters
Speed: The ball is actually descending imperceptibly slowly throughout the entire year.
Reaction: As soon as the ball reaches its base, millions of people all over the world instantly begin weeping inconsolably in memory of the year that just died.
