This Monday, Sept 6th, Justin headed back to Tennessee to celebrate the Re-Opening of his golf course, Mirimichi, which he co-founded with his parents, Paul and Lynn Harless. In the past year, Mirimichi has undergone significant ground restructuring in order to meet championship requirements as well as to execute significant environmental improvements (while re-constructing Mirimichi, in May, Memphis and its surrounding areas were hit with the Thousand Year Flood in May which devastated the course.)

Better yet, the gung-ho Mirimichi team has also built a 10,000 sq ft Mirimichi Performance and Learning Center, as well as Little Mirimichi, a 9-hole, par-35 course for golf newbees and beginners....

Not to mention, at the re-opening ceremony, the Golf Environmental Organization presented Justin a GEO certification award, since Mirimichi will be one of the first green golf courses. Said Bud Smart of the Golf Environmental Organization: “Mirimichi not only has been certified by GEO. It’s the first certified Golf Course in the Americas. What I mean by that is North America, South America, Central America and the Caribbean." Go Mirimichi!

Bottom Line? Make no mistake that the name signifies "place of happy retreat."

So go check out the new greens when you get a chance, Memphis fans !!!
