Justin Timberlake's Eco-friendly Golf Course Called Mirimichi Opens
Posted on July 24, 2009
Justin Timberlake's eco-friendly golf course called Mirimichi is opening tomorrow in Memphis, Tennessee. Mirimichi means "place of happy retreat." The golf course is the first golf course to receive the Audubon International's Classic Sanctuary certification.
Some of the green features on the golf course include irrigation systems that maximize the use of rainwater, native landscaping and solar-powered electric golf carts. Mirimichi also implemented sustainable resource management principles that incorporate wildlife conservation and habitat rehabilitation. The Audubon International certification requires a yearly audit to ensure the Mirimichi golf course continues to implement natural resource management principles.
Justin Timberlake is also considering writing a book about golf. He also has an endorsement deal with Callaway Golf.
Here's a video of Timberlake at the opening of the course.
Note: The Golf Channel reporters that Timberlake later sold the golf course in 2009 for $500,000.
