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 $10, you get one hour in the Game Improvement Room at The Golf Den in Sherwood Park (a $25 value).

The Golf Den's indoor virtual golf and practice center offers four private rooms featuring PGA Tour Golf Simulators. Buyers of today's Groupon can bring their clubs and best game face and take swing after measured swing in The Golf Den's Game Improvement Room. Utilizing both FlightScope 3-D Doppler Tracking Golf Radar and V1 Golf video analysis software, the room's technology gives insight on a player's swing as well as club fitting and club recommendations. V1 Golf captures swings on video, and like a melding mother-in-law, points out areas in need of improvement. FlightScope, on the other hand, crunches the numbers with measurements of ball speed, both vertical and horizontal launch angles, sidespin and backspin, club head speed, club horizontal and vertical attack angles, and club face angle. The two technologies combine to give golfers access to a level of personal analysis hard to find outside of Arnold Palmer's bestselling collection of self-help tapes. The Golf Den is open seven days a week during the winter, allowing golfing gurus to keep their game sharp throughout the off-season.
