London, July 9 (IANS) Pop star Justin Timberlake is taking his love for golf to another level, as he plans to write a book on the sport.
The “Sexy back” singer has reportedly employed a literary agent to send out a short synopsis of the planned book, in the hope of securing a publishing deal, reports imdb.com.
The book is said to be a memoir which follows “Timberlake’s time on the green and his experiences playing with various competitors”.
An agent David Vigliano also got in touch with several editors last month, it has been claimed.
Timberlake’s love of golf is well known, and he plays with an impressive six handicap. The 28-year-old singer owns his own golf course - the Big Creek Golf Course near Memphis and has previously admitted his proudest moments in life all relate to the sport.
If he does publish a book on the sport he won’t be the only famous person to have done so.
In 2008, rocker Alice Cooper penned a book called “Golf Monster: A Rock ‘n’ Roller’s Life and 12 Steps to Becoming a Golf Addict”.
