Equipment
The equipment used in Lunar golf is simple, and closely related to much of the equipment used in golf on Earth:
· Suits: The suit provides protection from the conditions on the moon, including severe temperature and lack of atmosphere. In recreation play, the type of suit worn does not matter. In tournament play, the regulating body must specify a certain type of suit for all players, to prevent any players from gaining a significant advantage in flexibility, etc.
· Clubs: There is a standard inventory of clubs in use. Unlike on Earth, the "wood" or "driver" is not present. Due to the lack of gravity, such power is unnecessary.
· Balls: The balls do not contain the characteristic dimples found on Earth golf balls. The added distance and control they were designed to provide is irrelevant here. Instead, the smooth surface of the ball is designed to allow it to travel over the regolith surface with the least amount of friction when rolling.
