Golf in space

Cosmonaut space stunt will put balls into orbit.

What would you do if you were taking a stroll in space? Take some souvenir snaps? Do some somersaults in zero gravity? Or perhaps you would practice your golf swing.

That is exactly what Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Tyurin is planning to do during his space walk from the international space station (ISS) later today.
