Golfing is a fun way to compete on a field of grass, much like footracing an earthworm or opening your own concession stand in the middle of a football field. Give in to your grassy competitive streak with today's Groupon to Boyne Golf Academy at King Par Superstore in Flushing. Choose between the following options:

• For $35, you get a private one-hour junior lesson (a $70 value).
• For $45, you get a private one-hour adult lesson (a $90 value).
  
  

The PGA-certified instructors at Boyne Golf Academy use advanced technological tools such as radar and form-analysis software to improve the strokes of students of all levels. Pupils receive one-on-one attention during the hands-on practice session, which focuses on identifying the strengths and weaknesses of each golfer’s swing mechanics. The V1 Pro swing-analysis software provides club kids with visual feedback on their slicing or hooking tendencies, and the Sam PuttLab employs ultrasound to determine the gender of each golfer’s putter. As the ball's postswing sojourn commences, the Doppler-based TrackMan radar system relays a 3-D real-time view and provides data on the dimpled orb’s trajectory. Although this Groupon is only valid for lessons, King Par Superstore is jam-packed with golf equipment and apparel and performs professional club fittings to ensure that wrists and 9-irons get along instead of attacking each other with golf clubs.
