SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - Since golfing in his first American Century Championship in 2015, Justin Timberlake has enjoyed the camaraderie at Edgewood Tahoe's hole #7 during the Celebrity-Amateur tournament on Thursdays of celebrity golf week.
This year, he wanted to one one of the boys so he showed up and hung out for a couple of hours, dancing, dishing out comments about the celebrity's golf swings and shots and had what looked like a great time.
A group of friends from Sacramento have been entertaining celebrities and the gallery at the hole for 12 years, and for the last four the company wimZr (started by two members of the group) has had a tent with music, alcohol, and a tent to base their antics from.
"Take the celebrity out of Justin and you get what you saw today," said John Parilo, who founded event app company wimZr with Blake Mori. "We love Justin and can't wait for next year.
it took a little coordination between Justin and Kevin Ruder, who co-founded the tequila company 901 with Timberlake in 2008 and the 'boys from wimZr.' "We did a little planning today and we were in sync," said Parilo in a play on words on Timberlake's former NSYNC band.
Timberlake and Mike Belotti, one of the friends of wimZr, hopped on a bicycle built for two and road down the 7th fairway. As they returned to the tee, Timberlake said, "Rides for $5!"
The singer-songwriter, actor and record producer also danced with basketball great Charles Barkley, got picked up by former major league catcher Iván "Pudge" Rodríguez, fist bumped several of the other celebrities he'll be golfing with over the three-day tournament that starts on Friday, play baseball and have an afternoon of fun.
On Friday, Timberlake will be in a threesome with his friend Alfonso Ribeiro (of the Fresh Prince of Bel Air and Dancing with the Stars) and football great Jerry Rice. They tee off at 10:00 a.m.
