Tiger got to the Tour by banging balls into a net as soon as he could walk. Phil made his way through the collegiate ranks. Boo earned his stripes through the mini-tours. We're still waiting to see how Michelle gets there.

Justin Timberlake plans to take his own path to the PGA Tour. Pop super-stardom provides the time and money. Dance classes provide balance and flexibility. A solid work ethic earns him a 6 handicap and ambitions to play in PGA events by the age of 30.

According to AZcentral.com, Timberlake's "aim is to make it into a pro event - just for a tournament or two. He practices every day, has a coach and takes his clubs wherever he goes."

He's always on the road touring and is known to sneak out to the golf course when he has spare time. I caught him rolling into Olympic Club in a decked out H2 Hummer about 4 years ago, when he was in Oakland for a show. The kid's a decent swinger. The guy must follow me around 'cause we recently caught each other in Palm Springs. Lot's of golf over there too. He's been recently spotted on Carnoustie Golf Links and Muirfield.

He takes his touring mantra from Alice Cooper. "Either drink all day or play golf." 

Golf. Now that's the way you bring sexyback.
