# Judge Magazine Page Analysis This page contains three separate humorous pieces: **"Scooty Bleat"** presents Scottish dialect golf observations—essentially jokes about golfers' behavior and golf course etiquette, with no specific political content. **"What?"** is a golf rules dispute: Mr. G. hits his ball into mud, extracts it caked with clay on his club face, then drops it in the hole claiming a score of two. The piece asks readers what rule he violated and what he should have done—a reader participation puzzle about golf ethics. **The Rene Clarke cartoon** depicts an elderly man sitting on a bench holding a golf club. The caption reads: "It's a pity our Presidents didn't take up golf before. Think what a bully thing Sculptor Borglum could have done with old Abe giving Seward's topped drive the once-over." This references Mount Rushmore sculptor Gutzon Borglum and humorously suggests if Presidents had golfed earlier, Borglum could have immortalized them in embarrassing golf moments—specifically Abraham Lincoln reacting to a poor golf shot by Secretary of State William Seward. The page is primarily recreational golf humor with mild political satire.

G., playing the San Francisco Golf and Country Club course, topped his ball into a bank of moist clay. He took a mighty swat at it with his niblick, and while mud flew the ball did not, but was found imbedded in mud on the face of his club.
