The first sport played on the moon was golf

The first sport ever played on the moon was golf. In 1971, Alan Shepard, an astronaut on Apollo 14, used a custom-made 6-iron to hit a golf ball on the moon’s surface. As he probably had a bit of pressure on him, he actually missed the ball on the first swing but on the second swing he connected with the golf ball and it went flying for miles. Sometime in the future, maybe we'll see golf on the moon, where World Records will be shattered in no time.
