Black Hole-In-One Contest

CNN reported this morning in upcoming days a Russian cosmonaut is going to tee up a golf ball from the International Space station. Mimicking Alan Shepard (Apollo 14 mission) who tee'd up a ball on the moon w/a 6 iron and it supposedly went for miles. Considering Tiger Woods tee shots go 300 yds, if this Russian (w/his gold 6 iron) hits a "decent" shot it will orbit Earth 4 times. If he "muffs" it, it has the possibility of getting in the same trajectry of the space station and become a possible hazard (no pun) This whole event is being sponsored by a Canadian Golf Mfgr.... fore!
