...bitten by the golf bug during his freshman year at the University of Florida. He learned the fine points of the game from his physical education instructor, Conrad Rehling, whom he still consults by telephone during important matches. Rehling straightened out Murphy's natural hook, made him develop a fade. "He taught me everything I know," says Murphy. "He saw I had fire and guts and desire and he taught me how to use them."

For the past two Christmases, it has outfitted the store's 12,000-sq.-ft. auditorium with a $250,000 "Dickens Village," complete with two-story, thatched-roof buildings and animated figures of Scrooge, David Copperfield and Oliver Twist. It recently staged an extravaganza for college-age youths, featuring...
