Hedrick is one of the wealthy people who plays on the Sherry Island Golf Course in the summers, and one of Dexter’s winter dreams is to defeat Hedrick in a game of golf. According to Dexter, has a reputation as a “good golfer,” but Dexter changes his mind about this after playing a game with him. As an adult with increasing wealth, Dexter feels a “tremendous superiority” over Hedrick and considers him “a bore.” While the men are searching for a lost golf ball, Hedrick is hit in the abdomen by one of Judy’s balls. He is annoyed by Judy’s presence on the course, both because she is a woman and because of her reputation for promiscuity.
