Posted

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Former college coach Bobby Bowden proved football isn't his only sport when he recently shot his second hole-in-one.

The Tallahassee Democrat reports that the former Florida State coach was playing Monday at the Golf Club of Quincy, about a half-hour from Tallahassee. The 86-year-old was swinging his 3-wood when he aced the par-3 12th hole.

Bowden was in a foursome with former college football coach and FSU player Gene McDowell and two local players. They all signed Bowden's scorecard.

Bowden told the newspaper he recorded his first hole-in-one several years ago while playing in Mobile, Alabama.
