Justin Timberlake Discusses His Memphis Golf Course

Joe Brescia of the New York Times caught up with Justin Timberlake on the eve of the ESPY Awards, which the former *NSYNC star hosted. Asked about the eco-friendly golf course he’s developing in the Memphis area in which he grew up, Timberlake said, “I found out that the course in Memphis, where my dad taught me to hit my first golf ball when I was 11, was going to be auctioned off and turned into a suburban development.

I’m learning more about the environment from this project than I ever have.” Timberlake paid more than $750,000 for the Big Creek golf course last November. Read more.
