Civilization labored for centuries to bring us the perfect pairing of golf club and golf ball as we know them, surpassing discarded variations such as twig and boulder and tire iron and disco ball. Swing harmoniously toward the heavens with today's Groupon: for $18, you get a TopGolf playing card, which includes six sessions on a tracking-chip-enabled golf range and free club rental at TopGolf Wood Dale (a $35 value). The sessions can be redeemed all at once or across multiple visits.

TopGolf combines the CIA's award-winning microchip espionage technology with a tricked-out driving range to please iron clubbers year-round. With a TopGolf playing card, you'll get 20 golf balls per game and, if needed, free loaner clubs to aim toward specific targets in the range or at imagined coworkers in your mind. A microchip implanted in each golf ball carries a signature that is unique to you, so TopGolf's system can track how far your ball flew and exactly how close you got to the flagstick every time. TopGolf compiles all scores to post daily rankings on televisions throughout the facility, giving players a chance to finally reveal the cool code name they've been doodling on notebook covers since childhood. The TopGolf playing card records your stats and keeps track of how many games you've played, so you can play your six games all at once or come back six times to spread out the sessions.

Guests can feel free to round up some golf-happy buddies for a lively competition or compete against themselves and wager a rent payment, wedding ring, or industrious nephew. Friendly servers gladly bring food and beverages to each golfing suite, or club wielders can take refuge in TopGolf's clubhouse café for creative snacks and drinks after a taxing day on the covered, climate-controlled green.
