Pop sensation. Restauranteur. Clothing designer. Mother lover. Justin Timberlake is hoping to pad this already extensive resume with one more entry: author. The 28-year-old golf enthusiast is looking to write a book about his beloved sport, reports The New York Observer.

Literary agent David Viglian, who has represented celebs like Clay Aiken and Shannon Doherty, recently sent editors a proposal for a memoir-like work in which JT recounts his many rounds of golf and who he’s teed off with.

It’s no secret Justin’s a big fan of the game, having been introduced to it by stepfather Paul Harless. “I can go on any golf course, anywhere. I can go on a golf course in Abu Dhabi and feel like I’m back home. That’s what I love about it,” he told Entertainment Tonight.

JT doesn’t have to travel far from home, though, to get in a few rounds. He owns a green green (an environmentally friendly course) in his Tennessee hometown, and just last year started his own charity golf event, the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospital for Children Open. Penning a memoir about these experiences seems to be the next logical step in his love affair with the sport, though much-less interesting than a Britney Spears tell-all.

The ‘SexyBack’ singer has reportedly employed a literary agent to send out a short synopsis of the planned tome, in the hope of securing a publishing deal.

The book is said to be a memoir which follows “Timberlake’s time on the green and his experiences playing with various competitors”.

Agent David Vigliano got in touch with several editors last month, it has been claimed.

Justin’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 moment relates to the sport.

He said: “I loved appearing on the cover of Golf Digest magazine. I’m not going to lie. I mean, I’m done. I don’t have to do another magazine cover ever again.”

It has also been claimed Justin refuses to take to the course with his girlfriend Jessica Biel as she is such a strong competitor.

A source said: “He prefers not to play with her since she’s gotten so good. It’s too bad because he got her into golf in the first place.”

If Justin 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 tome called ‘Golf Monster: A Rock ’n’ Roller’s Life and 12 Steps to Becoming a Golf Addict’.
