  Don't wonder. Report it. Its not acceptable at any point in a persons life to endure abuse of any nature.

  Cheers,

  HWei:

  Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

  Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

  But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

  This has got to be the most beautiful speech EVER written by mankind.  TY HWei for sharing.

  YES. Report the person. And check every so often on the profile to see if WGT allows him/her to stay. This from a white man in Alabama. It's bad enough having MA's, cheats and perverts on here, but the racists should be banned no matter how much they've spent, or how long they've been on here.

  This realy is a no brainer mate. In a heartbeat I would've screenshotted and immediately reported.

   

  There is zero room for racism in ANY form, anywhere. narrow minded idiots. Hell if you're unsure, send me the screenshots, i have no trouble in reporting these tools!

  There are people that do that kind of stuff just to get a rise out of someone, and enjoys it for their own enjoyment. There is a lot of people that do it. It is not only teenagers. There are older people doing it too.

  Golf has no color, no race, no nationality, only rules. The rules have been documented and are published for all to see. The only thing golf has not been able to do is get rid of the trash. Take these people with a grain a salt, you are better than them, it is up to you to show it. I have been called many things in my life and just prove I am the better person, I don't cry to others for sympathy. I do not condone racial slurs in any way, shape or form, this subject has been addressed into the ground. When this happens, take the shot, report to WGT and get on with it, otherwise this will be an ongoing issue. I will play with a purple polka dotted player and call them my friend. It is called golf. Thin skin will not make it on this site.
