WASHINGTON (JTA) — A swastika and the name of President Obama were carved into the green of a Massachusetts golf course.

The incident at the Lakeville Country Club is being investigated by the Secret Service.

Groundskeepers on Monday found the words "I" and "Obama" scrawled into the green with the image of a swastika between them.

“I said, ‘This is sick,’ ” Lakeville County Club owner Gary Mosca said. “They are going to do this stuff and cause a problem just to be anti-establishment or just to be tough guys. Their minds are probably demented enough to think of anything.”
