Just before departure from the Moon on Apollo 14 mission, Alan B. Shepard drove a golf ball on the lunar surface. he drove with a 6 Iron with an extended shaft to enable him to play in his bulky suit. However the moons lighter gravity made this mans longest drive at the time dispite the unconventional attaire of the player.

Brilliant. 
The cosmic golfer. On a slightly different note, I believe there are some longest drive competitions that take place on the runways of airports! Have you heard this before?

Yeah but I mention it for Shepherd as it was longest from tee to first bounce only it then apparantly plugged
