Mastering a peerless golf swing requires intense concentration on the arc of the club and a healthy disregard for the condition of your neighbor's statue garden. Control your projectile's path with today's Groupon: for $35, you get a one-hour private golf lesson from Denny Alberts Golf School (a $75 value).

A former junior-college All-American and U.S. Amateur qualifier, PGA-certified professional Denny Alberts draws from 20 years experience of teaching and playing to foster improved swings and lowered scores for his clients. Denny begins each hour-long lesson by videotaping his pupils as they swing, using a camera capable of capturing 1200 frames per second and suspected of stealing the souls of gullible nine irons. With the help of slow-motion review, Denny pinpoints any swing deficiencies and begins the arduous process of correcting bad habits and retraining muscles through swing drills, teaching aids, and his own internal encyclopedia of hard-won swing wisdom. Informed by the notion that an effective golf swing takes thousands of forms, Denny seldom attempts to reconstruct swings completely, but rather focuses on correcting the things that matter, such as ball contact, stance, and proper club-whispering techniques.
