Embedded Balls

By Peter Jacobsen and Jack Sheehan

Book Overview

For nearly 30 years, Peter Jacobsen has been a favorite of golf fans and fellow golfers. Here, he follows up his first book, Buried Lies, with an all-new collection of stories from the surprisingly wild and weird world of golf. From Jack Nicklaus to Michelle Wie, Tiger Woods to Vijay Singh, Jacobsen takes you behind the scenes of the pro tour like no one else can, as he tells you what it's like to play the PGA and Champions tours simultaneously; how John Daly nearly decapitated a spectator; what players really say to each other in the locker room; and how Jacobsen won the U.S. Open...kind of.

Customer Reviews

Great stories

Peter Jacobsen is an excellent story teller. Great book for any golfer. There are many funny happenings on the golf course and during tournament play that I enjoyed. This book was co-authored by Jack Sheehan as was his previous book "Buried Lies". It is a fast read and Peter Jacobsen has made golf interesting and funny. Letta Meinen

Great writing team

Once again Jacobsen and Sheehan have outdone themselves writing a book about their love of the game and the great stories that have ensued from the fairways worldwide... I laughed until I cried and am going to pass the book on to my friends in the dental society (and huge golf fans) in golf course mecca in Central Oregon..

Jake does it again

Peter Jacobsen returns from a decade-plus absence with a book that is better than his first effort - and that's saying something. "Embedded Balls" includes a look at what is wrong with the Tour today and how to fix it. Along the way, you will laugh out loud and get an insiders look at many characters on the Tour.
