Winona has 3 courses: The Woods, The Willows, and West Lake.
My proposition is simple. Change the name of West Lake to The Locusts.
The Willows is named for 2 trees that mark the point of departure at hole #1.
Locust trees are a huge part of the current West Lake course. Huge locust trees, which aren't all that common, shield the basket on hole #1, and line the pro tee fairway on hole #3. On hole #5, where you shoot across toward the lake, again, a huge locust protects the pin. And lastly, the big tree in the middle of fairway # 9 is a locust.
The name would bring it into consistency with the other courses of Winona which emphasize wood or tree variety.
Just a thought.
