I miss the days when Stanford GC provided (the public) a grass tee driving range.

OK, I'm completely out of touch.  I do know about the Siebel practice course fiasco, but what happened to the driving range down near Lake Lag?

I believe it was approximately 25 years ago that Stanford GC driving range was converted from  a grass tee hitting area to one of cement/synthetic mats. I assume the change was made because a grass tee hitting area is more expensive to maintain than mats.
For Stanford golf team (s) use, however, a grass hitting area was retained and still exists.
