A Record Golf Shot Posted 2006-11-24

Anderson, knocks a golf ball through the Stargate — sort of an instant
teleportation device — to another planet.
"How far is that?" he asked a colleague.

while being tethered to the International Space Station.
The cosmic golf drive was part of a commercial agreement between the Russian
Federal Space Agency and the Canadian golf firm, Element 21.
