ON this date in 1971 - NASA Astronaut Alan B. Shepard used a six-iron that he had brought inside his spacecraft and swung at three golf balls on the surface of the moon.

Alan became agitated when Bun Man and Mr. Purple didn't wait and played through the hole Alan was on.

Alan never did find the course marshal that day and Bun and Purple made the 19th Hole and chuckled for a long time over Alan's crazy golf outfit.
