To better their game, golfers must learn to keep their cool in the face of such course-related obstacles as spooky, apple-throwing trees and brutal sandworm traps. Steer clear of hazards with today's Groupon to one of Virtual Sports Zone’s playgrounds, located in Rockland's Club de Golf Outaouais and Ottawa's Tailgators. Choose between the following options:

• For $20, you get 30 minutes at the driving range and 18 holes of high-definition golfing (a $40 value). This option is redeemable at both locations.
• For $17, you get a Sunday brunch and virtual golf session (a $34.95 value). This option is only available at the Rockland location.

Virtual Sports Zone's golf playgrounds let fairway fiends of all skill levels conquer courses any time of year while enjoying the comforts of the great indoors. Special 3-D modelling technology recreates the playgrounds' 17 world-renowned courses available for play, crafting photo-realistic environments detailed enough to spot wind-blown roughs or ball-devouring gators from afar. To improve your club-crushing abilities, an advanced visual computer system analyzes the dynamics of your swing—including shaft flex, angle of attack, wrist cock, and degree of eyebrow movement—with results accessible on-screen, printed, or emailed.

Tailgators Sports Bar offers sports buffs a chance to catch every epic sports moment with more than 30 LCD TVs, or proclaim their own stick-and-ball mastery on a pool table. The athletic hot spot also serves up a variety of modern and classic mouth-mashers for flavourfying bland breaths. Proffering the Sunday brunch option, the Club de Golf Outaouais encourages reckless refinement with gourmet dining and imbibing, enveloped by an outdoor 27-hole golf course and fully-stocked pro shop. The club also features a 10-foot wide, eye-bedazzling projection TV—perfect for watching prime sporting events or reciprocating full-sized televised high-fives.
