i was out this past week and 4 asian guys were playing from the tips, its about 6800, i play from the whites 6400, needless to say not 1 of the 4 drove the ball anywhere near 250... made for a long day!!

I get what you are saying and we've all been there, it is very frustrating.

But was the fact that they happened to be Asian really necessary? And just because they are Asian doesn't mean they can't drive the ball more than 250 yards like your "needless to say" implies.

People of all races and ethnicities play from the tips when they should be playing the white tees.

I am not Asian, and maybe I am reading too much in to this, but I found this to be slightly offensive and demeaning.
