Dedman Family Hall of Fame

When Jim Hyler, former president of the United States Golf Association, takes the dais on February 14 to introduce Robert Dedman Sr. and his son, Robert Dedman Jr. as new members of the Carolinas Golf Hall of Fame, he’ll draw on the metaphor he heard often from Dedman Sr. through the 1990s.

Dedman’s Hall of Fame

One day in July 1984, the Pinehurst Resort shuttle van picked up Robert Dedman Sr. and associate Jim Hinckley at the Moore Regional Airport and drove them down Route 22 to the traffic circle, around to Hwy. 2, past the old PGA World Golf Hall of Fame, past Dornoch Cottage and alongside the second hole of course No. 2.
