Playing golf is a better way to commune with Mother Nature than scattering the pages of your journal throughout a national park. Get to know our planetary matron with today's Groupon for golf outings at The River Golf and Country Club in Louisburg. Choose from the following options:
- For $17, you get one 18-hole round of golf for one, plus cart rental (up to a $35 value).
- For $30, you get a one-month walking-only membership with unlimited golf (a $65 value).
- For $65, you get 18 holes of golf for four, plus cart rental (up to a $140 value).
The semi-private River Golf and Country Club fosters competitive sportsmanship on a challenging par 72 course. Indulge your outdoor cravings and tee off on 18 holes of tree-lined fairways and lush greens on River Golf's skill-testing course, containing 6,391 yards of terrain, multiple sand traps, roving golf-history quizmasters, water hazards, and four par 5 holes. Before taking to the grass, golfers can warm up on River Golf's chipping area, putting green, and driving range to loosen club swings in hopes of lodging a new low score. Single orb slingers or four-person golfing troupes can then traverse the course on any day of the week, including holidays, while those taking advantage of the one-month membership can engage in unlimited putting or get to know each blade of grass individually. One-month memberships are walking only, but carts may be rented for $12 per day.

The Groupon Guide to: Choosing Produce
There's no worse feeling than when you buy what you assume is perfectly ripe produce only to discover it's too hard or have it dissolve into a pile of ashes in your grocery bag. Here are some tips for filling your basket with ready-to-eat fruits and vegetables:
- Broccoli: Drag the vegetable florets-side-up across your arm. Each should be firm enough to rid your forearm of unwanted hair.
- Cherry: You'll have to tear through the tasteless, inedible outer layer to test the cherry's high-protein, peanut-like core. Once you expose the cherry nut, swallow it and rate the pain you feel as it gradually moves down your throat. If it's less than a seven, it's too ripe.
- Apple: Smell an apple. Does it smell apple?
- Cantaloupe: Knock on it to determine if it's hollow. If it is, there's a gerbil living inside subsisting on the fruit's ripe core. Hurry up! You'll have to eat quickly to beat the gerbil.
- Pumpkin: This orange, round gourd shouldn't deflate easily, so repeatedly stab it with something sharp, such as a hunting knife or the tools doctors use to open their mail.
