Embedded Balls is Peter Jacobsen‘ no holds barred opinion of PGA Golf and the professional players on tour. I commend him for his frankness and willingness to talk truthfully about what he experienced.
Luckily the stories are five star worthy, because the writing and jokes are three star worthy at best. Peter may be funny on the golfer scale, but not so much on a normal scale. Even though the book was written 14 years ago in 2005, some of the thoughts and opinions feel like they are from a generation ago. The misogyny and flat jokes have not aged well - I’m guessing Peter would have written things differently if he came out with this book today.
If one can overlook the flaws (which are admittedly big), there are interesting anecdotes to hear.

It's like listening to Jake during one of his shows or interviews. Fun stories and reflections of his time on tour.
