Justin Timberlake makes his golf course eco-friendly
When Justin Timberlake isn’t performing in front of thousands of fans with beats from his latest album, the singer can often be found getting a few strokes in on the nearest golf course. So passionate is Timberlake about golfing that he recently purchased an older course and invested $16 million in renovating it.
According to
ecorazzi.com, JT stated: “Originally it was called Woodstock Hills, and it was the first place my dad taught me to hit a ball. And last year we found out they were going to auction it off and turn it into a development. So we thought it was such a landmark for the community, we’d scoop it and save it. And we did. We were able to before it was auctioned off.”
Though golf courses aren’t know for being especially environmentally-friendly, the 28-year-old artist has turned the newly renamed
Mirimichi Golf Course into the “greenest” golfing destination in the nation. It recently became the first project in the United States to receive the Audubon International’s Classic Sanctuary certification.
Jt once again sets the bar high and surely other golf courses will feel the heat to follow suit. The course opens officially on July 25th.
