As with ships, the best way to sink a golf ball is to putt a holeinone. Ensure games are plain sailing with today’s Groupon €24.50 for a choice of 30 minute golf lesson with a PGA professional including range balls at Fota Island Resort. Teeing off since the 1800s, this three course complex places top birdiehunting facilities amid 780 acres of parkland to create a club that matches European Tour standards. Hosting regular meetings and events, Fota Island caters to visitors with its own clubhouse restaurant and bar, overlooking the 18th green where players put to use a range of golfing gear available in the onsite pro shop. Giving balls what fore a short drive from Cork airport and ferry terminals, the club is deftly suited to wayfaring players and keeps faroff enthusiasts in the know with its own Twitter feed. A PGA professional instructor will put golfing skills on the upswing at the club’s specialist academy, holding lessons on 4000 square metres of quality turf. Choosing between a short game, long game or putting lesson, learners can focus on specific techniques as they navigate range balls across bunkers and an undulating practice green. The instructor will provide onetoone tuition, using advanced equipment, specialist software, and years of experience to coach participants at their own speed. Reviews Fota Island Resort is rated a lavish 4/5 on TripAdvisor, and boasts over 6000 Facebook fans. Guests commented positively on the interior, the attention to detail and being looked after in style. A few felt the hotel was a bit disorganised at times. The interior decor of the hotel was very welcoming and had an ‘old world’ feel with subtle lighting to compliment the stone and dark wood trimmings. The hotel rooms were very spacious with a King size bed and soft pillows, a very large walk in power shower and deep fill bath, with no shortage of L’Occtaine toiletries, towels, robes and slippers. – Joanne J, TripAdvisor, Sept 2011 The room had the wow factor and the beds where so comfortable i had no problem sleeping. The hotel staff made a huge effort to make sure we where looked after and boy oh boy we whee looked after in style. – 13orotraveller, TripAdvisor, Sept 2011 Groupon coupons  Leisure  Leisure sports  Golf  Cork Leisure  Leisure sports Cork  Golf Cork Further deals in this category 1. Round of Golf for Two With Buggy Hire and Refreshments for €45 at Moyvalley Golf Club €112 Value 2. Four Weeks of Golf Tuition at a Choice of Two Locations for €99 with Kevin Beirth PGA €399 Value 3. €15 Bowling Plus Snooker or Pool For Up to Six at Bray Bowl €38 Value 4. Five Sessions of Hot Yoga for €32 at Platinum Gyms Up to 57% Off 5. Ice Skating Experience For One €6 or Two €11 at Castleknock On Ice Up to 54% Off Further deals in this city 1. Cut and Blow Dry Plus L’Oréal Conditioning Treatment for €29 at Boston Belle, Cork Up to €75 Value 2. Bucket of Corona Beers With Large Bowl of Spicy Chicken Wings For Two for €15 At Boardwalk Bar and Grill €33 Value 3. One Hour Laser Teeth Whitening And 20 Minute TopUp for €69 at Body Beautiful €199 Value 4. Foot Examination With Gait Scan for €21 at Glanmire Chiropractic Clinic 70% Off 5. Private Karaoke Pod With Cocktails for €29 at Urban Rewind Up to 76% Off Further deals in Ireland 1. €20 instead of €40 for a Four Course PreTheatre Meal and a Glass of Prosecco at Michelin Starred chef Conrad Gallagher’s Restaurant Salon des Saveurs Save 50% 2. €129 instead of €445 for Zoom laser teeth whitening go up to 8 shades lighter at Smilemakers Dental Clinic Save 71% 3. Personalised Santa Letter Delivered To The Door for €4.50 from Lapland Mail 52% Off 4. Two Chiropractic Sessions Using Activator Plus Two Health Workshops for €39 at Abbey Chiropractic and Wellness Centre 76% Off 5. One €24 or Two €40 60 Minute Pitch Rental Sessions from Astro Soccer Up To 67% Saving Further deals in other categories 1. Preserve Your Favourite Memories by Transforming your Favourite Pictures into A3 Canvases 2. Overnight Stay For Two With Breakfast and Late Check Out for €39 at Maldron Hotel Citywest, Dublin Up to 65% Off 3. 54 Point Car Service With Oil and Filter Change and Mini Valet for €55 at Sandyford Motor Centre 65% Off 4. Therapy Session for Digestive Problems With Abdominal Massage for €28 at Kore Clinic €70 Value 5. Pack of Diamond LED Solar Garden Lights with 50 €8.46, 120 €14.50, or 200 €22.95 Bulbs from Eco Revolution Up to 66% Off Similar deals from this merchant Choice of 30 Minute Golf Lesson With PGA Professional Including Range Balls for €24.50 at Fota Island Resort 55% Off
