Sydney, NSW - Twin Creeks Golf & Country Club is proud to have been home to the NSW Open for the last three years, from 2017 – 2019. It has been wonderful to see many professional golfers take the opportunity to play this magnificent course. Whilst it is now time for Twin Creeks to bid farewell to this major event on the NSW golfing calendar, they always support the NSW Open.
The competition was first played at Manly Golf Club under a "Close" format in which only citizens of New South Wales could join. Charlie Gray, Tom Howard, and Sam Richardson ended in a 3-way tie in the inaugural ceremony, with Charlie Gray raising the title following a Thirty six-hole play-off. The competition finally became an Open competition in 1958, bringing the best of Australia's golfing elite featured by some of the most skilled players in the world.
According to the latest news, the NSW Open Regional Series will be live-streamed this week. Golf NSW will live stream the final round from the Dubbo Golf Club and Murray Downs Golf Resort in cooperation with the Sports Entertainment Network. The best Australian golf is coming to town this week, with the Murray Open Championships beginning on Thursday and starring PGA Tour winners like Matthew Griffin, Marcus Fraser, Matthew Millar and Bryden Macpherson, and the upcoming stars Lawry Flynn, Justin Warren and Elvis Smylie. The field for Dubbo Golf club is also powerful, with Aussie legend Dimi Papadatos, Peter Leonard, Nathan Barbieri, and Jordan Zunic fortified starters.
In 2015, Golf NSW acknowledged Nagle's significant participation in the game by calling the NSW Open Championship trophy the 'Kel Nagle Cup' to recognise the tremendous Australian golfing icon. One of Australian golf's finest ambassadors, Nagle is best commemorated for his triumph in the 1960 British Open Championship at St Andrews Links (the home of golf) – where he defeated the great American, Arnold Palmer.
