On the Apollo 14 mission, while Alan Shepheard hit a golf ball with a modified six iron, Edgar Mitchell threw a javelin! Both had to sneak their toys on the mission as NASA had prohibited it...but boys will be boys! Mitchell said his javelin out-distanced Shepheard's golf ball by at least 6 inches. In truth neither went very far.
