Answer:

The astronaut that played golf on the Moon was Alan Shepard.

Step-by-step explanation:

It was on February 6, 1971. Astronaut Alan Shepard was named commander of Apollo 14 and wanted to do something special in his passage through the moon. He took out a six-iron golf club he smuggled aboard Apollo 14 and hit two golf balls on the lunar surface, becoming the first - and only - person to play a sport off planet Earth.
