The Onsite Rental Group has once again thrown its support behind this year’s Mining Towns Series.

""For the third consecutive year, Onsite Rental Group becomes the naming rights Series Sponsor for the 2018 Onsite Rental Group Mining Towns Series which forms part of the Ladbrokes Pro-Am Series.

The Series is a swing of events on the Ladbrokes PGA Pro-Am Series and with additional prize money on offer across tournaments, this will be one of the best Onsite Rental Group Mining Towns Series seen over recent years.

The Onsite Rental Group Series sponsorship provides not only the opportunity for professionals to compete for additional prize money throughout the series; it also recognises the leading three professionals over 13 rounds played on various courses across the Central Highlands Region.

Onsite Rental Group Regional Sales Manager for QLD/NT Steve Eyers is excited to be involved with the PGA of Australia in providing playing opportunities and fostering professional golf in Australia.

“Onsite are extremely proud to support the PGA Mining Town Series as the Naming Rights sponsor for the third year running,” said Eyers.

“The opportunity for our staff and our business to engage with local customers, businesses, and the professional golfers in a social setting in the Bowen Basin is a real pleasure, and it’s great to be able to give something back to the local community through this event.

“Each year we look forward to meeting the pros, both well-known and the new generation, and we look forward to watching their careers progress over the coming years. We look forward to hitting the courses in the coming weeks and happy golfing to all involved.”

Professionals from across Australia will play competitively over six events and 13 rounds as they endeavour to claim the overall Onsite Rental Group Mining Towns Series prize.  Last year’s winner Brett Rankin who dominated in 2017 will attempt to make it back-to-back series wins.

The 2018 Onsite Rental Group Mining Towns Series begins at the Blackwater Golf Club on 16 May with the final event concluding at Dysart Golf Club 1 – 3 June. The Dysart Golf Club will this year celebrate its 40th consecutive Ladbrokes Pro-Am Series event, which is a significant achievement.

“It’s a real financial drain to try and take the next step in a professional golf career,” said Rankin.

“The Onsite Rental Group Mining Towns Series additional prize money afforded me the opportunity to follow my dream last year and attend European Tour Qualifying School.”
