Early 1930s Augusta National GC Photo of 11th Fairway (17 Now) Construction Grounds
This incredible shot features an aerial shot of an early Augusta National Golf Club's 1th hole fairway. Hole numbers were of course changed following the inaugural Masters Tournament of 1934, with the front nine becoming the back nine and vice versa. The present day 2nd: Pink Dogwood's fairway is seen in great antiquity in this original picture. This image was stored in the files of the original Augusta National Golf Club's engineer Wendell P. Miller's family for over 85 years, prior to offering in our auction in 2019. It cries out for ownership by the finest photo libraries known with a dedication to Bobby Jones, Augusta National Golf Club or golf history as an emphasis. Its reverse has pencil labeling of the picture subjects. Crystal clear 8x10 image free from chipping, with surface wear along the top. Letter of provenance from the family of Wendell P. Miller comes with this lot.
