Apollo 14 is the mission with the famous golf ball on the moon. Commander Alan Shepherd (also the first American in space) hit two golf balls while on the moon to demonstrate the lower gravity on the lunar surface.
Golf. On the moon. I'm guessing they didn't play 18 holes though...
Alan Shepard played golf on the moon during the Apollo 14 mission in 1971 as a lighthearted and symbolic gesture to showcase the reduced gravity on the lunar surface. It was a unique way for him to celebrate the success of the mission and to add a personal touch to the historic event.
