My dad played golf on the moon - a podcast by BBC World Service

Alan Shepard played golf on the moon in 1971.

He became the first and only person to enjoy the sport on the lunar surface.

The astronaut golfer’s daughter Laura Shepard Churchley was inspired by her father’s big journeys and later travelled to space herself, although she didn’t pack golf clubs.

Tricia Penrose hears Laura’s recollections of life with her father and his unique sporting space trip.
