'Buried Lies: True Tales and Tall Stories from the PGA Tour' now available for sale

NAPLES, Fla. -- For nearly thirty years, Peter Jacobsen has been a favorite of fans and fellow golfers, and when he published Buried Lies in 1993, it was an immediate success. But a lot has happened since then -- to him, to his colleagues, and to the game itself -- and so it's high time he launched a mulligan -- Buried Lies: True Tales and Tall Stories from the PGA Tour

From Jack Nicklaus to Michelle Wie, Tiger Woods to Vijay Singh, Jacobsen takes you behind the scenes of the professional TOUR like no one else can, as he tells you what it's like to play the PGA TOUR and Champions Tour simultaneously ("from flat-belly to fat-belly"); how John Daly nearly decapitated a spectator; what players really say to each other in the locker room; why getting on SportsCenter is not always a good thing; how Payne Stewart got back at Paul Azinger for beating him in a tournament (moral: always check your shoes before you put them on); why loaning Tiger Woods your caddy can be a mistake; what made Arnold Palmer change his shorts; and how Jacobsen won the U.S. Open (well ...kind of).

Throughout, it is a book filled with wit, warmth, insight and just plain fun: a pure delight.

Peter Jacobsen, winner of seven TOUR events, was named the PGA TOUR's Comeback Player of the Year in 2003, at the age of 49 - and the next year promptly won the U.S. Senior Open - on a bad hip, no less. He is a partner in Jacobsen Hardy Golf Course Design; hosts two television shows on The Golf Channel, and his management company Peter Jacobsen Productions stages events around the country. He has a home in Lake Oswego, Oregon; and lives in Naples, Florida.

Jack Sheehan is the author or coauthor of nine previous books, including Buried Lies. Like Jacobsen, he played golf at the University of Oregon. He lives in Las Vegas, Nevada.
