Justin Timberlake a professional golfer?

Justin Timberlake is thinking about becoming a professional golfer.

The pop hunk and Social Network actor has told pals he would seriously consider quitting movies and music for a crack at his dream job.

“Justin is a very good golfer but who knows how good he could go if he had time to perfect his game,” says one friend of the star.

“Watching the Masters this weekend made him more hungry for the game than ever. He seriously thinks if he put his mind to it he could make it to Augusta one day.”

In October, Timberlake said he hasn’t had the time to practice his swing because he has been so busy making movies for the last few months.

“My game is pretty terrible,” he said. “You know, it’s that old thing. When the work is good, the game suffers. But you work so you can play.”
