Why there are still non-native shrubs on the fascinating 10th at Riviera is a question for another day, but the obvious answer is that they now serve as a defense of a hole rendered too easily drivable. They were planted long ago for no good reason and have been kept to keep the hole from becoming even more of a bomb-and-gouge-fest than it already is.

For the purposes of this Golf Channel Morning Drive piece, I try to explain why taking on these shrubs is the lesser of two tenth hole miss evils.
