# Judge Magazine: "Judge Wants to Know" This page from *Judge* magazine presents satirical questions about golf and wealthy figures. The headline references the Declaration of Independence phrase "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness," applying it humorously to golf culture. The questions mock: - **Poor golfers in business** – questioning unlikely success - **Walter Hagen** – a famous golfer, possibly about smoking habits - **John D. Rockefeller** – his enormous wealth funding golf expenses - **Golf culture generally** – including fashion (golf suits) and equipment debates The illustration shows two men on a golf course discussing another golfer named "Harford," suggesting he's a chronic poor player who never succeeds. The satire targets both golf obsession among the wealthy and class commentary on who can afford the sport. The humor relies on readers' familiarity with these public figures and golf's growing popularity in early 20th-century America.
