LAKEVILLE (AP) - The Secret Service and local police are investigating after a swastika was found carved into the green on a Massachusetts golf course, next to President Barack Obama's name.

Authorities said the vandalism was discovered early Monday on the 18th hole of the Lakeville Country Club. Lou Mincone, the assistant manager of the club, said the person or persons responsible may have used a cleated shoe or some type of tool to carve out the letters and symbol sometime Sunday night. The carving is about 10 feet by 10 feet.
