Searching Google for the term “golf marketing”, and the tenth result had an extra line underneath it. Would you click through to this website?

Ouch. Clicking on the link takes you to a Google Help page that explains a little about malicious software. Even if you click on the link (to go to the site), Google shows you an additional warning page, just to make sure you’re aware that there may be a problem.

Definitely worth keeping an eye on the Google search result for your website. How many people do you think will visit this site (from Google) after multiple warnings?

No problem, but I’m not sure what you mean by damage control. It isn’t a slight against this site. I actually feel sorry for them; they probably don’t even know it’s happening.
The point of the post was to show the value in reviewing your SERP’s (Search Engine Results Pages) on a regular basis. How are the search engines presenting your site to the public? In this case, it’s in a negative way, and needs to be alleviated.
