35 years ago Alan Shepard and Ed Mitchell took their second spacewalk of the Apollo 14 mission and Shepard became the first man ever to hit a golf ball while not standing on the face of the earth.
Now, standing before the television camera, he addressed his audience on Earth: “In my left hand, I have a little white pellet that’s familiar to millions of Americans.” Shepard wielded a makeshift golf club, made from a six-iron head attached to a sample-collection tool handle. In his pressurized suit he could only manage a one-handed swing. But after a couple of tries, Shepard managed to connect with the ball, which went sailing away in the Moon’s one-sixth gravity. While the world listened, Shepard exulted, “Miles and miles!” Alan Shepard had become the first lunar golfer, and no one minded if he exaggerated just a bit.
Now E21, a Canadian manufacturer of golf clubs, has managed to convince various space agencies to let a Russian cosmonaut use a club to hit a ball from an external platform on the Space Station. The ball will have a transmitter inside, allowing it to be tracked while in orbit for approximately four months. The company would not say how much it is paying for the stunt. Understandably. 
Shepard’s club, by the way, is now on display at the World Golf Hall of Fame.
