What you’re looking at
This page announces a content-gathering initiative by Judge magazine's "Lore o' the Links Committee"—a group of prominent country club members (names listed) tasked with collecting humorous golf stories and anecdotes from readers. The cartoon figures at top represent golfers in various poses and attire, illustrating the sport's social culture. The satire operates on multiple levels: Judge is calling upon not just golfers, but also fishermen, boaters, and campers to contribute their best stories and tall tales. The editors playfully shame these outdoor enthusiasts, suggesting golfers monopolize the storytelling ("Are the golfers going to put all the fish tales to sleep?"). The page also cross-promotes Judge's staff contributors—Heywood Broun (sports), Ruth Hale (film criticism), and Walter Prichard Eaton—as examples of the magazine's quality content. The underlying joke: Judge positions itself as arbiter of leisure-class humor and good taste, while soliciting amateur contributions it will "edit if necessary"—a genteel way of saying they'll fix subpar submissions.
