Cosmonaut to hit golf ball from space station

How’s this for a handicap: A Russian cosmonaut will strike a lightweight golf ball from outside the international space station in a promotional stunt – but he will swing one-handed and with one foot wedged in between the hand rails of a ladder.

Cosmonaut Mikhail Tyurin will use a special 6-iron for the tricky shot - though a 3-wood might be a better suited club for the 242-mile distance to the nearest green.
