What is the best swing speed for a golf club?
The swing is about timing and tempo. As we each have our own inner clock, the swing speed will depend on the individual making it. It is important to maintain good balance when making the swing, as well as acceleration thru the ball. Your speed at contact should be somewhere between 75 and 85% at contact , leaving you 15 to 25% of acceleration after contact.

What brand of golf ball was hit on the moon?
There are probably two golf balls on the Moon, not three.
Alan Shepard brought two golf balls along on Apollo 14, which he hit on February 6, 1971, becoming the first golfer on the Moon. On the Moon, almost all shots will be from a sand trap.
Although many sources mistakenly say three, the answer is two. The source of confusion comes from the fact that Shepard swung four times. If you watch the video and listen to the transcript, you'll see that the first swing moved the ball a few feet, the second swing missed the ball, the third swing hit it far. Then he dropped the second ball, and the fourth swing sent that one far also. It's the second and third swings that can be the source of confusion - they were swings at the same ball. The video is kind of fuzzy so it's hard to tell, but it's obvious from the mission transcript. (see the related link below).
In addition Shepard himself said "two golf balls" in a 1991 interview, although there is a video with a description that incorrectly says "three golf balls."
It is difficult to analyze the video or interviews and draw conclusions either way, since he could have only referred to the "couple" of balls in the interview he actually hit versus how many were placed on the surface of the Moon, perhaps two balls at one time. The grainly TV video serves no more to prove either way if there are two or three balls on the surface. In no interview does Shepard state how many balls were taken on the mission or how many were dropped on the surface where two could have been dropped at the same time. While there were very likely only two balls, the popular conception is that there were three.

When was the cobra long tom golf club produced?
Long Tom is just shy of 4 feet and a pioneer in with it's lengthened shaft and fiber head. It was my most favorite driver in the 4 decades I've played but it didn't last. The head and face are integrated and a big chunk of the face broke off with no chance of repair. It has been retired with honors and each successive driver is lengthened to match ol' LT. After 10 years I finally found a club that performs nearly as well, a Callaway FT-5. It's remarkably loud metallic "TINK" when the sweet spot is hit can make your ears ring, but it's a sweet bell.

Golf involves various types of surface.
The area around the hole is the finest quality, the shortest and the best maintained and is known as "the green".
The area from the tee-off point to the green is known as 'the fairway' and is kept short, but not as short as the green.
