Before golf was invented, grassy pastures were viewed as the exclusive territory of roaming sheep, herds of cattle, and overzealous Civil War reenactors. Celebrate turf's competitive utility with today's Groupon: for $49, you get a Blue Sky Golf Pass, Man Card, and Ladies’ Pass from Blue Sky Media (a $99 value each; a $297 total value). The three-pass package includes up to $20,700 in discounts at area golf courses, resorts, restaurants, salons, shooting ranges, and other assorted activities.

Blue Sky Media’s discount passes put some of Texas’s most enjoyable activities and attractions at the fingertips of fun-seeking clients. The Blue Sky Golf Pass permits adventurous golfers to putt around for up to 65 rounds at discounted rates on 17 of the region's greatest greens, from top-rated Bear Creek Golf Club to the D.A. Weibring-designed Winstar Golf Course. Though each course has different dress codes, dates, rates, and rules about krumping on the fairway, players enjoy more than $3,700 in savings overall. Greensmen can augment their link-looping fun with the Man Card, which includes a free bow tuning and hour on the archery range at Bass Pro Shops, a day pass to Summit Climbing Gym, as well as discounted access to golf getaways, shooting sporting clays, racecar-driving experiences, and no-holds-barred alligator wrestling.

More relaxing exploits await wielders of the Ladies Pass, which boasts up to $10,000 in savings for a panoply of rejuvenating spa treatments, including a free microdermabrasion at Hidden Door Med Spa, a free chiropractic exam at 360 Med Spa & Wellness Center, discounted laser hair-removal treatments and eyebrow waxing, as well as savings on dining, arts and crafts, and dog treats and toys for overworked canines. A detailed list of discounts can be found here and here. The first 500 customers who begin redeeming their Groupon will receive a $25 gift card to Hidden Door Med Spa and a $25 gift card to 360 Med Spa & Wellness Center.
