Celebrity Dirt on Justin Timberlake to Make a Greener Golf Green
JT-branded eco golf course and charity tournament are in the works
By Colleen Kane
Justin Timberlake has just signed on for a partnership with the sports/entertainment/media conglomerate IMG, which will lead to a JT-branded eco-golf course and the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospital for Children Open tournament this October in Las Vegas.
The golf course will be in Justin's hometown of Memphis, Tennessee. It was rescued from the auction block by JT, his mother, and his stepfather last year. Now in the works are plans for LEED-certified facilities, and more. From an article in the Memphis Daily News:
"Also anticipated is... a renewable energy field and a walking trail with educational placards and seating for the public to learn about responsible energy and natural resource usage," wrote Eric Criswell, of the engineering firm Davis Patrikios Criswell Inc.
Justin's other new role is as the co-star of Madonna's new hit "4 Minutes," which has the line, "four minutes to save the world." The real-life task of saving the world isn't as easy as one eco-centric golf course, but at least there may soon be less toxic lawn chemicals seeping into the Memphis ecosystem.
