Cosmonaut Golf

From Damn Interesting:
Russian cosmonauts are hoping to hit a golf ball into Earth orbit from the International Space Station, setting a record for the longest drive ever made. If NASA gives the OK, the attempt will be made during one of three spacewalks planned for later this year, probably in September.

It's all part of a commercial deal between the Russian space agency and Element 21 Golf Company of Canada.
