Justin Timberlake's Eco-friendly Golf Course Opens Tomorrow
 LiveScience.com reports that 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.
Originally called Woodstock Hills, the golf course is older and was actually the first place golf-enthusiast Timberlake learned to hit a golf ball.
"...Last year we found out they were going to auction it off and turn it into a development," Timberlake told PGATour.com. "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."
Renamed Mirimichi Golf Course, Timberlake's newest venture is the first project in the U.S. 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.
