The creek in front of #6 was quite substantial. I always thought it was just a little ditch, but that's a full blown hazard. Obviously didn't come into play very much. Fascinating to look at.

I like how the patrons could seemingly walk all the way up to the edge of the bridge on 12 with the golfers. Looks like a kid made it through on one of the pictures.
It seems like it was such a more casual and relaxed atmosphere back then. I also love the steel fence in view behind the 13th tee. Gasp!!!

The club installed the chain-link fences around the course as a security measure for Eisenhower.  Augusta was his first stop after winning the nomination.
