You can hit a golf ball with a golf club.
Could be when you hit a golf ball higher than you usually do and it goes not as far or maybe as far as your usual distance.
Alan Shepard hit two golf balls on the moon during the Apollo 14 mission in 1971. The first ball traveled about 24 yards, and the second ball was estimated to have gone around 200-400 yards due to the reduced gravitational pull on the moon.
It works the same way it does on Earth. The momentum of the club is transferred to the golf ball and it travels. And it isn't slowed down by the friction of air.
Yes and no. Players can do remarkable things with a golf ball now, but they hit it so far that golf courses have to keep adjusting.
