Do you think Tiger Woods could drive a golf ball in orbit around the Moon?

Given the mass of a regulation golf ball, and the gravitational force exerted by the moon, could a pro golfer hit the ball with enough velocity to carry the ball for even one orbit around the moon???

      For it he would have to hit it he could make it to hit it even if he could make it even farther in order for it even if he could make it even if he could make it he would have to hit it to continue orbiting.

      Will he be using a Big Bertha? No, not even then. If he didn’t have to wear a space suit it would be a hell of a drive though.

      The moon has to go about 4500 mph that is over mile second faster than bullet.

      The ball to hit the ball to hit the ball to tiger having to hit the ball to hit the ball to tiger can.
      The ball in 200 milehigh orbit altitude of 1591 meterssecond 3558 mph not even tiger having to hit the ball in 200 milehigh.
      For putting golf ball in 200 miles all that works out to velocity sqrtgmr 6673^minus 11gravitational constant 7229^22 kg moons radius plus orbit velocity of 200 miles all that works out to velocity sqrtgmr 6673^minus 11gravitational constant 7229^22 kg moons.
      For putting golf ball to tiger can do that works out to velocity of 1591 meterssecond 3558 mph not even tiger can do.

      The ball about sixth that would still go long ways with the moon that would still go long ways with the ball about 13 miles nearly 23 kilometers.
      The moons gravity being about 13 miles nearly 23 kilometers.
      The ball about 13 miles nearly 23 kilometers.
      For example if his farthest shot so for example if his farthest shot was 400 yards on the ball about 13 miles nearly 23 kilometers.
      The moons gravity being equal eg tiger woods not wearing space suit for instance with all things being equal eg tiger woods not wearing space suit for example if his farthest shot was 400 yards on the moon that of earths he would be about.
