The sport Gary Player called "a puzzle without an answer" comes to Henry's back yard.

The PGA Championship Tournament comes to Charlotte this week. It is a huge enterprise: 200,000 people are expected to attend; $100 million is anticipated to flow into the local economy.

As recovering golfers, we at Henry Bemis Books know they also play who only sit and read. So we are pleased to offer a gaggle of golf books on sale this week.

Make us an offer! It's like taking mulligans: keep at it till you get the price you want.
