If life is just a bowl of cherries, then bowling is a life of launching twelve-pound cherry-flavored gumballs. Experience life's sweetest pastime with today's Groupon: for $8, you get three games of bowling, plus shoe rental, at Sandhills Bowling Center in Aberdeen (up to a $15.75 value). Spacious and sprawling, this family-friendly 32-lane bowling emporium gives ball barons room to roll in style. Select an appropriate pin hitter, lace up your lucky rented shoes, and amaze lane lookers with an endless barrage of strikes, turkeys, and ever-elusive turdukens. Sandhills’ giant flat-screen score monitors keep double-dealing strikers from fixing frames, and a newly remodeled arcade and snack bar keeps stomachs and thumbs occupied during extended gutter-ball layovers.

Sandhills Bowling Center offers its own deals at certain times of the week that may be better values than this deal; plan ahead to make sure you're redeeming your Groupon at the most opportune time.
