Bowling is like taking a road test: the only way to win is to knock over more obstacles than everyone else. Cruise to victory with today’s deal: for $5, you get $15 worth of bowling and shoe rental at Strike and Spare. Choose from the following locations: Hillwood, Donelson and, Murfreesboro.

Bowlers at Strike and Spare can choose from up to 42 gleaming top-of-the-line lanes and enjoy squeaky-clean facilities. Hone your skills in a no-frills setting during daily open bowling ($2.75–$4.50 per game per person, $14.50–$23.50 for an hour of lane time), or stop in for a cosmic pin-crashing session on a Friday or Saturday night to simultaneously cultivate your hand-eye coordination and mentally prepare for prom in outer space ($4.50–$4.75 per game per person, $23–$23.50 for an hour of lane time). Brush up on your bowling skills whenever your dominant elbow gets the itch, and sport a pair of dashing bowling shoes ($3–$3.25 per person) to distract fellow bowlers from your ambition-induced elbow rash. Each location has its own hours and daily rate specials, so plan ahead to make the most of your Groupon value. Between games, scoot up to the snack bar or spirits-stocked lounge and debate whether a president's ghost could run for a third term.
