RESIDENTS were shocked by sickening Nazi graffiti left by racists at a city golf course. 

Vile vandals left hateful messages which referenced the fascist regime on the walls of the clubhouse at Linn Park Golf Course. 

South Side residents were disgusted by the slogans and logos, which included the phrases "Seig Heil" and "blacks out" as well as a swastika and the Schutzstaffel (SS) insignia. The graffiti has now been removed by council workers.
