John Daly fails to drive ball over Niagara Falls in publicity stuntNIAGARA FALLS, Ont. (CP) - He huffed and he puffed but golfer John Daly couldn't drive a golf ball across the gorge at the Horseshoe Falls in a televised stunt Monday night. The 39-year-old PGA Tour veteran, promoting a new golf course in the region, smacked 20 balls from a platform in attempting to span the 342-yard distance to Goat Island in the Niagara River. Most of the balls disappeared into the mist that swirls near the falls. "Oh, well," Daly said. "No harm done."
