“Growing up reading and looking at the newspaper every Thursday to Sunday to follow my uncle’s every move on the PGA TOUR was awesome and motivating. However, it’s even more impactful now to read the behind-the-scenes stories that just illuminate his career even more.”
TAYLOR TWELLMAN, 2005 MLS MVP, LEAD MLS ANALYST FOR APPLE TV
“I have never met a professional athlete with Jay’s life experiences and background who is willing to share them in such a fun and energetic way as in this book. He cares about the game of golf, but most importantly, he cares about the people in and around this great game. This book shares his amazing career and life experiences in a manner that makes you realize how much he’s done in his life—and what a life it has been!”
DAN MCLAUGHLIN, FOUR-TIME EMMY AWARD-WINNING SPORTS BROADCASTER
“It is often said that one of the best things about the game of golf is the people you meet along the way, and one of the best people that I’ve met in this game, going back some forty years now, is Jay Delsing. Always a big smile, a big laugh, a big heart, and a booming voice have made him one of the most popular figures in this game and no doubt helped to fill his life with wonderful friendships and stories that he has shared with us here. I hope you enjoy the journey as much as I’ve enjoyed my friendship with Jay.”
BRANDEL CHAMBLEE, AMERICAN PROFESSIONAL GOLFER
“Jay had, at first impression, a big smile, was genuinely happy to meet you, and was interested in learning more no matter if you were Arnold Palmer or a fledgling rookie. We played many practice rounds together, both under the tutelage of the great Bob Rotella, always talking about staying athletic and instinctive. Jay had a great knack for recalling his rounds with such detail and humor that there was rarely an empty seat next to him in the locker room after play. What he does in You Wouldn’t Believe Me If I Told You is take you back in time to a highlight reel of stories from the PGA TOUR that are really hard to believe. It was nice to be inside the ropes with Jay for so many years on the Tour.”
BRAD FAXON, EIGHT-TIME WINNER ON THE PGA TOUR, GOLF ANALYST FOR NBC SPORTS AND THE GOLF CHANNEL, FELLOW FATHER OF FOUR DAUGHTERS
“There are many takeaways from Jay’s memoir. Here’s one: His Arnold Palmer story is much funnier and much classier than Donald Trump’s.”
