Is there anything else that could be added to the bend in the fairway on #18 at Muirfield Village?

I would add a bunker or 2. There are only 9 by my count.

Look at the transition of the "design" of the 18th, the professionals have likely gone from hitting drivers with balata balls to long irons with ProV1s.

Largely indefensible defense of an otherwise good golf hole. Luckily,  it was the original architect debasing his own work, all in an effort to affect play on one week per year.

How about adding a blimp!

Time for the game to have a less organic, aerial hazard. That dogleg would be ideal. ;D
