Jessica Biel has reportedly taken up golf to get closer to boyfriend Justin Timberlake.

The actress has allegedly recruited a professional to help improve her golf prowess and is having lessons at California's Riviera Country Club.

"Jessica isn't really that interested in golf, but she really wants to get better at it," a source said. "It will give her more time to spend with Justin, since he plays 18 holes a couple of times a week."

Timberlake has previously been quoted as saying that appearing on the cover of Golf Digest was the highlight of his career.

He commented: "I'm not going to lie. I mean, I'm done. I don't have to do another magazine cover ever again."
