# "Told at the 19th Hole" - Judge Magazine Page Analysis This page contains three separate humorous anecdotes told in golf club settings, typical of Judge's satirical humor. **Top image**: Shows a golf clubhouse at the National Golf Club, Southampton, NY—the setting for the stories below. **Main stories**: 1. A golf club committee chairman scolds a new member for practicing swings improperly, insisting rules be followed. The humor lies in the chairman's pompous enforcement of etiquette. 2. A woman secures a "plus four" man (a skilled golfer) for a round and asks if he likes "high fees"—an apparent pun on golf handicaps that he misinterprets as a question about church donations and morality. 3. Two business partners—John (newly religious) and Jasper—where John repeatedly pressures Jasper to join his church. The irony suggests John's newfound piety doesn't overcome his annoying persistence. The illustration labeled "MAN! Master of the Earth" (by H. Pascal) appears unrelated to the text stories. These represent typical early-20th-century Judge humor: genteel social satire mocking clubmen, religious hypocrisy, and romantic misunderstandings.
