Moon
If I were to play golf on the moon where the acceleration due to gravity is 1.6m/s^2 I would swing the club fairly easier than I would be able to on earth because there is less gravity to pull it in the opposite direction. The golf ball would probably also be able to go faster and farther because there will be more lift than gravity. This is because Newtons 3rd Law states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, when I swing my club at the golf ball, it will continue to swing back because I forced it to move forward and it doesnt want to stop because the energy I used to propel it forward will be used to keep moving.
