Swastika carved into green at Lakeville golf course

LAKEVILLE, Mass -- Police along with the Secret Service are investigating after a local country club discovered a swastika carved into the green.

Lakeville County Club workers discovered the vandalism early Monday morning.

Carved into the green on the 18th hole was a swastika next to President Barack Obama's name.

The vandals snuck in at night and carved their message of hate, according to the owner of the country club.

"We don't know if they did it with some type of cleated shoe, or they had some type of tool and this time of year to have that happen, it's a problem it's much harder to fix now," said Lou Mincone, the assistant manager of the Lakeville Country Club.

The manager is trying to figure out the best way to get rid of it.

Workers attempted to cover it temporarily with green spray paint; however, the symbol was carved too deep. They will now try to get turf from another area to fill in the message.

Work is scheduled to begin on Tuesday morning.

Yes. Yes we did.

Does anyone else notice that Steve Cooper makes a Freudian Slip and calls the sign a message of hope?

I think we may have just found out who did it.

so the SS is on the case now...looks like we are going to get something done now

Doing a story like this gives the vandals international exposure!! Golf course vandalism is so common. The best thing to do is not tell anyone and just fix it. Anyway, the swastika is going the opposite way as the Nazi symbol. I can't believe all the hoo-ha!!!

That's not the nazi swastika dumbasses, that's a BUDDHIST SYMBOL, Its a sign of Peace And love. So people actually meant "I LOVE OBAMA" Even Newscasters don't know their fucking history.

Why do they assume it's a message of hate?
