Why not? How would you like to be the first man to play golf on the moon? Pretty awesome huh?
No, Neil Armstrong did not play golf on the moon. The only sports-related activity he did on the moon was the moonwalk to collect samples and conduct experiments as part of the Apollo 11 mission in 1969.
US astronaut Alan Shepard (1923-1998) was 47 when he walked on the Moon as part of the Apollo 14 mission (February 1971). He was the "first astronaut in space" for the US during his suborbital flight in February 1962, as well as the first man to play golf on the Moon.
Golf. On the moon. I'm guessing they didn't play 18 holes though...
play some golf and walked and went on a moon buggy
It would be challenging to play golf on the moon due to the lack of atmosphere and the differences in gravity compared to Earth. The lack of atmosphere would affect the flight of the ball, and the lower gravity on the moon would make it difficult to control the power and accuracy of the swing.
Alan Shepard was the first person to play golf on the Moon. He was the fifth person overall to walk on the Moon.

Alan Shepard used a modified six iron during the Apollo 14 mission in 1971. The folding "sampling arm" he used to pick up rocks, had a specially made golf club head that could be screwed on. When he was done, he brought this folding "space golf club" back to Earth, and it was presented to comedian Bob Hope, an avid golfer well beloved by all branches of service. Alan Shepard, commander of Apollo 14, using a modified 6-Iron, hit two golf balls while on the moon's surface.

First they will have to be able to live on the moon. It is unlikely the sport will take off on the moon due to the lack of gravity. An astronaut once hit two golf shots on the moon, he was too tied up in his protective gear so he hit a one handed six iron, the first shot was a shank, the second went over 300 yards before he lost sight of it.
Neil Armstrong did not play a sport on the moon. Alan Shepard who was the commander of Apollo 14 hit a golf ball on the moon with a 6 iron that he smuggled on the ship, in his clothing.
played golf. planted a flag. and drove around in a moon buggy. you cant play golf on the moon
I think playing golf on the moon will give you muscles. I hope i can play golf on the moon one day-
lord sugar loves to play golf and loves a game of tennis with peter jones ( the dragons )

No, Charlie Farmer is the main character in the film 'The Astronaut Farmer', apparently he is supposedly based on the real life astronaut, Alan Shepard, but I think this is just a play on words, Farmer, Shepard. See the link below.
