OLDBURY golfer Jack South is taking on the PGA EuroPro Tour across the UK after winning sponsorship support.

Recruitment agency Osprey Engineering Solutions, based at Trigate Business Centre, is sponsoring South for the remainder of the tour, including an upcoming event at Longhirst Hall Golf Club in Northumberland.

Matthew Reilly, managing director of Osprey, said: "I have personally known Jack for a number of years and have been proud to watch him advance in his golfing career.

"As the managing director of a successful business, it gives me great pleasure to be able to support people like Jack, and give something back to the local community.

"Since advertising our partnership, I have already received enquiries and new business from people who have been interested in the golf connection. I'm really looking forward to seeing how this partnership develops and cheering Jack on for the remainder of the tour."

As well as playing several events in the PGA EuroPro Tour, South also plans to play in the Midlands-based Jamega Pro Golf Tour as well as the qualifying stages for the European Tour.

He is also sponsored by Taymar Homes, based in Netherton, Dudley, as he continues his rise up the ranks.
