Golf Digest has been around for nearly 70 years, and during that time we’ve amassed a substantial library of photographs, books and golf memorabilia—all carefully indexed. Or so we thought. Late last year, our offices moved to a different floor at our headquarters in New York City, and while packing up, we found an unmarked box of black-and-white 35mm film negatives. Among them were nearly 1,000 images of the Masters dating from the late 1950s through the early 1970s. After some investigating, we discovered that these pictures were taken by the magazine’s earliest editors, including co-founder Howard Gill and Managing Editor John May, who routinely doubled as photographers and reporters at tour events.
