During the pre-competition interview, golfer Maurice Allen does an amazing Ric Flair impersonation before smashing a 483-yard drive.

When you have that kind of power it’s possible to hit an average par four in one. Maurice Allen took on a challenge that not many can do. He took on Niagara Falls with the intention of hitting a ball from one side to the other. Allen setup on the Canada side of the falls.

A platform set on the edge, driver in hand, he was ready to go. A Team on the US side of the falls watched every attempt. Shot after shot he would either see the ball go offline or hear a radio communication that his ball didn’t make it. With the wind swirling around the falls, mixed with the water in the air impacting every shot, could it even be possible for him to make it?
