I didn't think golf could get any dumber

I'm all for neat, science-y stuff. But this is just just stupid.

A Russian cosmonaut will strike a lightweight golf ball from outside the international space station in a promotional stunt _ but he'll swing one-handed and with one foot wedged in between the hand rails of a ladder.

Cosmonaut Mikhail Tyurin will use a special 6-iron for the tricky shot _ though a 3-wood might be a better suited club for the 242-mile distance to the nearest green.

A lot of people consider the International Space Station a joke. Clearly, this kind of stunt can't be helping.
