Like suntans and the ability to throw knives at apples on top of totem poles, golf skills disappear if you don't keep working at them. Keep the magic alive with today's Groupon: for $59, you get a holiday gift package plus 18 holes of golf with cart rental (a $119 value) at Old Silo golf course in Mount Sterling. The gift package includes:

• One Old Silo souvenir golf ball
• One Old Silo bag tag
• One sleeve of golf balls
• One Old Silo baseball cap
• One bucket of driving-range balls
• One $15 gift certificate for Old Silo Restaurant

Old Silo's picturesque, 18-hole, par 72 course keeps the hallowed hole-game lively for debutante duffers and grizzled golfers alike with four sets of tees. Warm up for your round by whacking a bucket of balls at the driving range, which boasts seven target greens and a few land mines just to keep things interesting. From there, navigate your cart through the tiered, undulating greens and the 98 white-sand bunkers along Somerset Creek.

Celebrate an afternoon of successful spheroid kinetic experiments by adjourning to the 19th hole, where you can put your $15 gift certificate to use at the Old Silo Restaurant in the clubhouse, which overlooks the 18th green. The restaurant serves sandwiches, salads, and traditional Kentucky fare, while a stocked bar allows friends to tearfully toast the solstice. Contact Old Silo to schedule your tee time.
