Info for space enthusiasts: Alan Shepard was the first American in space, and he was the commander of Apollo 14.
Info for golf enthusiasts:
While Shepard was on the Moon, he hit two golf balls. Not your usual round of golf, but then doing sports in a space suit isn't all that easy. Getting the ball into a hole - unless it was a largish crater - would be near impossible. But you could hit it a long way in the Moon's low gravity and no air resistance.
Astrophysicist Ethan Segel has calculated that you could hit one nearly two and a half miles.
