Davis resigns head pro post at country club

The Cape Girardeau Country Club is without a head golf professional for the second time this year.

D.W. Davis, who was named the club pro May 5, resigned his position around the end of June. Cape Country Club general manager Dave Kaesheimer on Saturday confirmed Davis' resignation.

He said the club's board of directors had a meeting planned for that day to determine the course of action for finding a new pro.

Davis, who had been head professional and director of golf during 14 years at Rend Lake Golf Course in Illinois, had been hired to replace Billy Birk.
