⛳️ TTM RETURN: THE ULTIMATE GOLF ENTERTAINER ⛳️
The Reynolds Relics archive just added a major piece of golf history and personality. Today’s mail brought a successful return from World Golf Hall of Famer Peter "Jake" Jacobsen!
🃏 The Cards
1982 Donruss Golf ( #50) – An awesome early-career look at Jacobsen blasting out of a greenside bunker.
2001 Upper Deck Golf ( #182) – A clean shot capturing his timeless, smooth swing from UD's core golf era.
🌟 The Legend Behind the Ink
While many know Jacobsen from his years as a lead tournament analyst for NBC Sports and Golf Channel, his impact on the game goes way beyond the broadcast booth:
🏆 The Resume: A 7-time winner on the PGA Tour, highlighted by back-to-back victories at Pebble Beach and the Buick Invitational in 1995. He also represented the US on two Ryder Cup teams and won 2 Senior Major Championships after turning 50.
🎸 The Rock Star: Known as one of the funniest guys on tour, he was the lead singer and guitarist for "Jake Trout & the Flounders" alongside fellow pros Payne Stewart and Mark Lye, recording golf parody albums in the '80s and '90s.
🎬 Hollywood Cameo: He played himself on the big screen in the 1996 classic film Tin Cup, battling Kevin Costner's character down the stretch of the fictional U.S. Open.
🙌 The St. Andrews Tackle: He is the answer to a classic piece of golf trivia. During the final round of the 1995 Open Championship at St. Andrews, a streaker ran onto the 18th green. While security hesitated, Jacobsen personally tackled him to the ground before holing out his putt to a massive ovation from the gallery.
An incredible character and a fantastic addition to the vintage golf collection.
