Default Scary story about landing on a Lake Tahoe golf course

I was waiting for someone to point that out. I recall that accident near Turf. Water landings may be no big deal if everything goes well. However if something goes wrong, you drop a wing, you stalled, you misjudged you’re altitude above the water (easy to do) etc and it can be more serious and less forgiving than ground.
