Autumn in the Northeast is a study in contradictions. We are finally free of the scorching heat that defines most of July and August, but we pay the tax on this comfort in the form of swiftly diminishing hours of daylight.

In the same way that we are with quick-service burgers and reality television shows, Americans are overrun with self-important professional golf events. The Masters, obviously, is the Masters. The U.S. Open ranks as our country’s highest championship, while the PGA ostensibly crowns the world’s finest professional golfer.
