Who's Buying 'Timberlake's Guide to Golf'?

Who died and left Justin Timberlake as the executor of all of golf’s guiding principles?
Surely, even the meteoric Major tournament champ Payne Stewart would get his knickers in a bunch if he’d lived to hear that the modern world’s most famous alumnus of the Mickey Mouse club and the late ‘90s “boy band” phenomena is positioning himself to be golf’s next great ambassador.
According to splashy headlines from New York to New Delhi, is pursuing a book deal that would allow him to ruminate on the game he’s enjoyed since childhood. He would be following in the footsteps of the acid rocker/avid golfer Alice Cooper, who penned “Golf Monster: A Rock ’n’ Roller’s Life and 12 Steps to Becoming a Golf Addict” in 2008.
There must be dozens of serious PGA Tour players who are more equipped and qualified to write an instructive memoire than Timberlake. Who, after all, knew much if anything about the pop performer before his choreographed “wardrobe malfunction” with Janet Jackson at Super Bowl XXXVIII?
Other than the fact that he’s rich and famous, who really cares about where Timberlake has played and with whom over the years? This smacks of more evidence that the literary world too often defers to style over substance.
To Timberlake’s credit: He has managed to maintain a longtime relationship with the vivacious actress Jessica Biel. How he gets up and down in that arena would in all likelihood be a far more eye-opening read.
