Jack Newton
Cessnock-born golfer Jack Newton won the Australian Open and finished runner-up at both the 1975 British Open and the 1980 Masters. A severe aircraft-propeller accident ended his tournament career in 1983, but he continued contributing to golf through junior development and fundraising with his wife Jackie. His Celebrity Classic became a major part of that work. Remembered warmly in the Hunter sporting community, he also followed the Newcastle Knights with enthusiasm. His legacy extends beyond his own results to the opportunities created for younger players.
