Explanation

The first sport to have been played on the moon was golf. On February 6, 1971, during the Apollo 14 mission, astronaut Alan Shepard famously took a few swings with a makeshift golf club he had brought aboard. Although the lunar gravity differed from Earth's, Shepard managed to hit two golf balls, becoming the first person to play golf on another celestial body. This event added a touch of lightheartedness to the mission while demonstrating the possibilities of physical activity in a different gravitational environment.
