“Mr. Hoggard Who at the Golf Channel is monitoring the website? There should be a policy which reads: "Bad language will not be tolerated. All comments considered discriminatory against race or sex, or which are considered offensive against certain people, will be eliminated by the manager. Violators will be deprived of their membership" and everyone should abide by it. A concerned viewer at the racism that for years has been directed agains Tiger Woods by people called 3irons, em66, bugman, etc.”
