$35 for Two Rounds of Golf, Two Buckets of Balls, and Two Carts at Siren National Golf Course in Siren (Up to $104 Value)

Golf’s Scottish origins may explain its players’ insistence on wearing plaid caps and puffy bloomers but it doesn’t explain why metal clubs are called woods, which are called forestas in medieval Latin. Search for answers with today’s Groupon: for $35, you get two 18-hole rounds of golf (up to a $32 value/round), two small practice buckets of ball (a $4 value each), and two riding carts (a $16 value each) at Siren National Golf Course in Siren, WI. Redeem this Groupon with a friend or use it during two visits. Siren National Golf Course lays out 18 championship holes for its par-seeking patrons, complete with lined bentgrass fairways , generous landing areas, and mature pine and hardwood trees. Veteran and green golfers alike will find Siren’s five sets of tees, along with more than 100 feet of elevation change, conducive to driving, putting, chipping, and somersaulting. Riding golf carts, players can challenge the course’s strategically-placed bunkers Mondays–Thursdays ($23/round) or on Sundays until June 15 and after September 2 ($32/round). Finish off an afternoon by treating your clubs to nibbles of grass at the practice facility and putting green and treating yourself to some bites at the snack bar.

$45 for an Initial Consultation and Acupuncture Treatment at Legacy Wellness ($120 Value)

The art of acupuncture was discovered by ancient Chinese philosophers, whose “stick a needle in it” approach to problem solving helped remedy everyday afflictions but caused setbacks in balloon-animal exports. Enjoy the positive results of their trial-and-error studies with today’s Groupon: for $45, you get an initial consultation and acupuncture treatment at Legacy Wellness in Uptown. This deal will also include a 20% discount for customers who book another appointment when they redeem their Groupon. Legacy Wellness wellifies clients with a host of traditional Eastern treatments designed to enact holistic balance and health. Led by licensed acupuncturist Monica Helland , the consultation begins with a thorough analysis of clients’ health history and wardrobe for any imbalances that may affect daily function. After determining an appropriate course of action, Helland will provide recommendations for herbal medicine, healthy diet, and engrossing graphic novels that can improve general well-being. To conclude the visit, customers receive their acupuncture treatment, an ancient art that involves painlessly inserting sterile needles at critical pressure points to improve energy levels and alleviate muscle tension. Customers interested in additional acupuncture or completing an unfinished tic-tac-toe game will notch a 20% discount off their second appointment if they book it on the day they make their initial visit to Legacy Wellness. During a second visit, Helland can dish out a detailed report of findings from the first session and begin a more specialized course of treatment.

$10 for Two Tickets to Any Saturday Late Show at MinneHAHA Comedy Club ($20 Value) in Shakopee

One of 16th-century Italy’s most popular forms of entertainment was stand-up commedia dell’arte where masked performers would pantomime observational bits on Machiavellian politics and the deal with airplane food. Enjoy modern merriment with today’s Groupon: for $10, you get two tickets to any 10:30 p.m. Saturday show at the MinneHAHA Comedy Club in Shakopee (a $20 value). MinneHAHA gives Minneapolis up-close access to the best local and nationally touring comedians, many of who have appeared on The King of Queens , Showtime, Comedy Central’s Premium Blend , Late Night with Conan O’Brien , and Last Comic Standing . The laughs are plentiful, while the comedic tone is classy and—unlike shows performed at nursing homes—refreshingly free of lazy vulgarity. Upcoming shows will feature the wry observations of impressionist John Bush on May 14, and the Vegas-style antics of the Midnight Swinger on June 4. Regardless of the show guests will be sure to enjoy a night of jocular good times not involving Internet videos of dogs wearing sunglasses on surfboards. While not included in today’s Groupon, visitors can supplement the belly-jostling laughter with belly-pleasing beverages from Dangerfields . Check the calendar for full details before calling to reserve a seat.
