Tee Time on the Moon: How Astronaut Alan Shepard Played Lunar Golf by DAVID A. KELLY. In 1971, Alan Shepard and his fellow astronauts made their way to the Moon in the cramped Apollo 14 capsule. Their mission: Study the moon in more detail than ever before. But Alan Shepard had a secret hidden in his sock: two tiny golf balls. Since the moon has virtually no atmosphere and gravity that is only a fraction of the Earth’s, a golf ball should have been able to go far. But did it?
