While this is a picture of the 2nd fairway, the new 7th green can be found in the background, with what appears to be both front and back bunkers? I thought when Maxwell moved the green back prior to the 1939 tournament that only the 3 front bunkers were present.
Similar Image from April 1955.
Between these two images and the following timeline, some things do not line up.
Changes to no. 21947 - 525 yards - A left hand bunker was added near the green to pinch the front of the putting surface and to protect against faded second shots. All of the MacKenzie jagged edges on the bunkers were removed for ease of maintenance.
1954 - 555 yards - George Cobb rebuilt the green to extend it to the left, adding several hole locations. He also added a gallery mound on the back left of the green and rebuilt the three bunkers on the hole. A new back tee was added and the Bermuda on the greens was replaced with a hybrid that was less grainy.
Changes to no. 71939 - 370 yards - At the behest of Roberts, Maxwell reshaped portions of the green in 1937, but concluded no one could truly improve it. At the suggestion of Horton Smith, a new green was built in 1938 beyond the old one, atop a hill. Paid for by a club member, it was build with a tractor borrowed from the county. Maxwell, on direction to make the new green similar to the par-4 8th at Pine Valley, fronted the green with three bunkers.
1956 - 365 yards - As if the smallest green (3,600 sf) sitting half-blind 15 feet above the fairway wasn't testing enough, George Cobb added two bunkers behind the green before the 1955 Masters. Pines trees were also planted along the fairway. The next summer, the hillside behind the green was cleared to create a gallery mound.
The Black and While picture shows the 7th green post moving, so the earliest it could have been take was 1939. It also shows only a singular greenside bunker on 2, so the latest it could have been take was prior to 1947, but it also shows 2 rear bunkers on 7, which were not suppose to exist until 1955?
The Color picture shows an expanded 2nd green and a lefthand greenside bunker, so the earliest it could have been taken was 1955, the same year the bunkers on 7 were expected to be added, but the rear bunkers on the 7th in the color picture look nearly identical to those in the B/W picture.
So what happened here? Is the 1939 credit for the B/W picture accurate and did Maxwell add the rear bunkers in 1939? Did Maxwell come back sometime before 1947 to add the rear bunkers to the 7th? Why is Cobb accredited with the bunkers behind 7?
