Thomas McKay (Australian politician)

Thomas Sidney McKay (1 October 1909 – 5 January 2004) was an Australian golfer, barrister and politician.

[1] He was an amateur golfer and on 2 August 1934 he married Odette Anita Madeline Lefebvre,[2] who was also a golf champion, having won the NSW State championship in 1931 and 1933.

[11] In 1938 McKay travelled to Britain as part of a four-man Australian team which included Harry Hattersley, Len Nettlefold and Mick Ryan.

[13] The team played various matches in Britain, including at Stoke Poges where McKay hit a course record 66.

[14] He qualified for the 1938 Open Championship at Royal St George's, but in the first round he hit a disastrous 14 on the 14th hole,[15] which put him out of contention for making the cut.
