Fourteen-year old Dexter Green encounters an eleven-year old spoiled brat who instigates him handing in his notice at the golf club. She is Judy Jones – described as being unattractive in a way particular to ugly ducklings who are soon to grow into beautiful swans. Miss Jones is determined to get what she wants: Green to wait on her as her caddy. She drops her bag and marches off across the course. He quits his job rather than wait on her, a decision that surprises him as much as his employer.
