I didn&#8217;t play once last year because I hurt my back just moving the bag one day. I figured it was a sign that I shouldn&#8217;t start up again. My sister got me a driver for my birthday last year and I never used it once. I suppose I can go to the driving range or something, but that sound like a slippery slope to me. Golf is supposed to be bad for your back anyway. I&#8217;m still convinced you can&#8217;t be a successful Asian man without playing golf, but playing golf probably doesn&#8217;t guarantee an Asian man&#8217;s success. I wonder if my buddy John Maeda plays golf. He&#8217;s the President of RISD, so he&#8217;s probably a successful Asian man.
