Customer Reviews

Buried Lies by Peter Jacobsen

This book is quite humerous with great insight into the PGA Tour and the funny stories that have occurred throughout the many years. Peter talks about many of the pro's who are still on the PGA Tour and Champions Tour. This book is a great read and worth the time & effort.

Good read!

I had my doubts about the book, but it was worth the read. Very easy style. Almost conversational. Good stories about other players and even better ones about himself. His description of the recovery proces after his hip surgery was worth the price of the book. Not the typical "don't we all agree how great I am" book. Makes you wish you knew him.

Jake the Trout Guy tells all

Jake is such a popular player and very versatile. Not only does he play golf very well at the pro level, but his lead singing is legendary. Buy the Jake Trout and the Flounder album if you haven't already.The guy's imitations on the practice range are classics. Now, in this book he tells some stories of himself and others. Remember Fluff?Great golf read from one of the most respected guys on tour. Win a couple more Jake.
