They were pretty epic and there must have been a pretty bad blockage of the creek at the Sand Hill bridge just north of hole 3.The main problem (allegedly) is that the lake leaks so badly they have to continually pump water to keep it full. I heard, many years ago, that it wasn't so much the University feared the levies around the dam would fail but rather their insurance carriers were concerned about that and were going to charge them an arm and a leg for coverage against such a disaster. I have no idea if that is true or not.
For those that know, how did the University fill Lake Lag before? Did they use the piping near the golf range to pull water from San Francisquito creek or was it filled via a different mechanism every spring? It was truly a picturesque spot on campus and I have fond memories of taking sailing classes on the lake or hanging out at the "beach!" I've heard rumors that in addition to the tiger salamander, the University feared that the levies might fail.
