46 years ago, Alan Shepard pulled out a makeshift six-iron he smuggled on board
Apollo 14 and hit two golf balls on the lunar surface, becoming the first - and only - person to play golf anywhere other than Earth.
With little atmosphere and much lower gravity, golf balls on the moon travel much farther than on the earth. Alan attributes his shot of nearly 200 yards to this fact alone.
The other sport played was
javelin.
