DAVIDSON — Staff at the Davidson Golf and Country Club took a hands-on role in rescuing an injured fawn found on the course earlier this month.

Maintenance worker Tori Sarich said she and co-worker Matt Edwards were out touring the grounds the morning of June 7 at around 7 o’clock.

“Every morning we take a drive around the golf course to see how it’s doing, how the greens look and everything,” she said. “We stopped by the third green. There was something lying right beside it.”

Upon closer inspection, they found a fawn, less than a week old, shivering and wet with dew. There were bite marks and blood on its head.

“We weren’t exactly sure what to do first,” said Sarich, adding that they did a Google search to find information and then left a phone message with wildlife authorities.

Officers returned their call later, telling them to keep a close eye on the deer and to keep him out of the tall grass so he could be located.
