What part of a low-head dam poses the greatest hazard from a strong recirculating current or boil?
One danger of a low-head dam, as opposed to a natural rapids or falls, is that the boil-line extends uniformly across it's face. If you were stuck in a recirculating "hole" in a natural rapids, it's possible that you could swim out to the side to escape. At a low-head dam there is no escape. You may be repeatedly pushed under until you become weak and drown, or you may simply be held against the face of the dam. If you were smart you'd be wearing your PFD. If you were smart you would have avoided the dam!

How do you avoid the dam shank?
To avoid the dreaded "shank" whilst pitching/chipping take up your normal stance and when comfortable shuffle your feet back (away from ball) maybe a few inches not so that you are stretching but just mildly uncomfortable .. then swing as you would normally makin sure you DO NOT LIFT YOUR HEAD (major fault) .. This routine has worked for me for over 20 years (never shanked since I adopted it) keeping your head as still as possible throughout your full swing will gain better control on all shots... But be warned do not strain your head to stay still it is important to relax let the flow of your swing bring your head up as you turn through to finish.... Good Luck

Who is Gavin's Point Dam named after?
Before the dam was built, the land along the Missouri river where the dam was ultimately constructed was owned by a member of the Gavin family. The point was named Gavin's Point because the land around it was owned by Mr. Gavin.
Apparently, Mr. Gavin "donated" much of the needed land mass for the dam's construction and a plaque bearing his name was placed on the dam U.S. Army Corp of Engineers.
