You do realize that the above statement includes yourself, don't you?

Oh bull. Your own stupid theory was shot down so now you're trying to act as if you were secretly looking to prove something else? Get real.

Honestly, if he's doing some good for the game, I fail to see why you're getting your panties up in a bunch about him being on the cover of a magazine. I also read the article, and it has a lot to do with golf, so I don't understand why you're being such a snide jackass about the whole thing.

I pretty much agree with what everyone else has said so far.

However, it's been mentioned a couple of times already and I'll repeat it:

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE IS HOSTING A PGA EVENT LESS THAN ONE WEEK FROM TODAY.

That was the main reason he was featured in the magazine. The added benefit is that he, himself enjoys playing the game and is rather good at it. Beyond that, as others have mentioned, he's pumped millions into bettering the game.

This was not an attempt to bring young people to the game through JT, this was simply interviewing the celebrity host of an upcoming PGA Tour event.

Plain as day.

JYB, mang you've got some pretty strong anger about 'things' and I think you are aiming it in the wrong direction. You need to chill out out and reassess.

Seriously.

Justin Timberlake on the cover of GD is not a symbol of everything that's wrong in the world.

Well, one golfer anyway . . .

Whether intended or not, it's hard to dispute that JT gets kids to the golf course....

Who does she love?

FAR more interesting than the Justin Timberlake story were the two golf architecture related articles by Ron Whitten in the same issue:

"Bunker Mentality"
a pictorial essay on various bunker styles.

"Big Mac, Little Greens + Wide-Open Spaces"
A look at modern course design and its links to the past with emphasis on the pioneering style of C.B. Macdonald and some of his "template" holes.

This statement is an attempt bailing out on the discussion because you have realized you have lost this debate and look like a complete jackass.

Who does she love?

My guess would be Adam Scott, but the answer remains shrouded in mystery.

Well, shrouded by something. . .

Although, she didn't leave much mystery about it . . .

Let's stick to topic or, if it's run its course, just let it die a slow death, ok guys?

Perhaps a visit to the "Secret of Golf ..." thread might lift the mood a little.

We're all friends here (hopefully)

great, go ahead and keep sucking celebrities off in this bullcrap american celebrity driven culture.

Wow, such vehemence. Probably just a troll, but I'll take a bite.

Yeah, he's more talented, rich, good looking, etc. than I (and 99.9% of the world) will ever be, but he loves golf, just like all of us here. He knows the elation when you pure a shot and feels the frustration after playing poorly. If he wants to make golf cool, than I'm on his side, not on the side of a seemingly bitter golf crony. BTW, his real name is "Justin Randall Timberlake". Have fun, JG
