I wonder... A golf ball shouldn't be able to "hook" in any direction in space. It should continue to head in a straight line.... gravity permitting.

Air or no air, I'll bet I could slice a drive in space.

And if there is any other planet in our galaxy with liquid water on it, my ball will find it.

True...but he could come over the top and snap it to the left (assuming he's right handed). It just won't go left and then hook farther left...;-)

Seems like I read something a while back that said a pitcher couldn't thow a good curveball on Mars due to the low gravity and air pressure. Stands to reason that the lack of those requirements would be even more pronounced in space.

Believe me, if I were to hit a golf ball in space--or anywhere else--it would slice.

Of course you are correct, I should have said he mis-hits the ball and it hits the panels...

Although if the ball were traveling, and rotating very fast... :-)
