About The Jack

The Jack Newton Celebrity Classic is the longest running and most successful celebrity pro-am golf tournament in Australia. The inaugural event was held in December 1979 at the Tewantin Noosa Golf Club on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. The event had a great ‘feel’ about it, especially to propagate a Celebrity type event where Jack took it upon himself to improve the standard of professionals, find sponsors and introduce more celebrities….the first ones being Ronnie Corbett and Ricky May. Following Jack’s accident in July 1983, the Tewantin Golf Club asked about naming the event the Jack Newton Celebrity Classic.

What our attendees Have to say

Testimonials

The following are some of the companies and individuals that make our event what it is today, for that we are incredibly grateful.

Club Car’s partnership with The Jack now stretches back over 10 years. Aside from being a fantastic way to end the year with associates and corporate guests, the opportunity to support Jack’s foundation and causes supporting the fight against diabetes is critically important to us. The Jack has delivered Club Car tremendous value and we feel highly appreciated by Jack and the team managing the event. This thing is both special and unique – I’ve made lifelong friends and I have memories I’ll enjoy forever.

Vice President (Oceania) - Club Car

The Jack is an event the players look forward to every year, a chance to catch up with old friends, meet friends, meet people from other walks of life and raise money for great causes… and have a bit of fun.

Nathan Green

“The Jack” to me is an event where an extended family gets together every year to celebrate friendship and to help a couple of worthy causes through a wonderful golf tournament… but it’s so much more than that… celebrities and professionals give their time and leave their egos at the door to make this the best and most fun event of all.

Richard Champion

It’s a pleasure to be part of a long standing event that supports a great cause and brings like minded people together for the betterment of that cause.

National Sales Manager Bunnings Group Limited

Everyone wants to feel connected to something special and ‘The Jack’ has provided us with an opportunity to offer exactly that. This event has helped my family and countless others create some of the best memories and build many of the most trusted and greatest friendships. I’m enormously proud of my parents and everyone involved, both past and present who have played their role in creating Australia’s longest running Charity event. It’s been a team effort and it’s been our way of giving back to many others who have needed our support and encouragement.

Adam Spencer is an extremely part time golfer but an extremely full time lover of a good cause and a great event. As such he loves The Jack. Bringing as much amusement with short game as he does his anecdotes from 15 years of top rating breakfast radio from both Triple J and ABC Sydney. Adam has vowed to return this year and conquer the water off the first tee or at least get half way across said body of water.

A.H.Beard has been sponsoring the Jack Newton Celebrity Classic for many years, and the reason that we come back, year after year, is not just because of the sheer fun both our customers and ourselves enjoy, but also because of the tremendous friends we have made through our participation in The Jack, as well as numerous beneficial networking opportunities.

There’s Grand finals, a summer of cricket, holidays & there’s Xmas. But there’s only one that beats them all. The Jack, three days of heaven in the Hunter!

I am proud to be Patron in Chief 1979 – 2019 of the Jack Newton Celebrity Classic – that fixture in people’s calendar that affords the opportunity for the talented (and not so talented) to come together in good spirit and friendship, to raise money for the Jack Newton Junior Golf Foundation as well as Diabetes.

The Hon. R.J.L. Hawke

Patron in Chief

As a long standing sponsor, Knauf Insulation is delighted to once again be supporting ‘The Jack’ this year. Jack’s passion for the development of junior golfers across Australia, as well as his outstanding commitment to raising awareness of diabetes, has been really inspiring. His fun-filled personality and love of bringing his family and friends together shines through this event, and we look forward to doing him proud in 2023.
