Well not with a real ball but with a football-sized rock. I remember a movie showing an astronaut doing that on one of the later missions. I kind of need to find it again because a Polish friend of mine argues with me that this never happened. I also get the impression they were playing golf there as well. Apollo 16? Apollo 17? Any clues on that?
