Playing golf on the moon is one of the last things you would expect any man to do, but Alan Bartlett Shepard, Jr, the fifth person to walk on the moon did it during the apollo 14 mission. He played golf with a Wilson six-iron head which was attached to a lunar scoop handle. Since he was wearing a very thick astronaut's suit he could swing the golf club with only with a single hand.

6 iron eh? Great club choice. Big enough to use while in a space suit but still easy to hit with.
