Tom Coughlin out-shoots players
Former Jacksonville Jaguars coach Tom Coughlin topped a team of celebrities that included players he coached during a charity shootout for Jacksonville Area Legal Aid.
The Pajcic Firm sponsors the charity golf event for Legal Aid annually. An "Island Green" is built on the waterfront at the home of Steve Pajcic and Coughlin was the closest to the pin, topping former Jaguars such as Josh Scobee, Kevin Hardy Aaron Beasley, James Stewart, Jordan Todman, Lerentee McCray and mascot Jaxson DeVille.
Also playing was the current starting tight end Brenton Strange. Coughlin beat him, too.
Coughlin received $6,000 to designate to a charity of his choice, while the Pacjics matched that figure for legal aid. More than $1 million has been raised from the event over the last two decades.
