John McIntyre Forrester (19 February 1894 – 4 August 1964) was a Scottish-American professional golfer who played in the early-to-mid 20th century.

As a member of Rhodes Golf Club in North Berwick, he won the Haldane Cup and Maxwell Shield in 1911 at the age of 17.

[1] At the start of World War I, Forrester enlisted in the 3rd Battalion Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders in North Berwick on 29 August 1914 and was subsequently posted with the Royal Gurkha Rifles and fought in France and Flanders for almost a year before being transferred to Salonica in Macedonia for three years.

[1] Forrester emigrated to the United States from Glasgow, sailing aboard the S.S. Columbia, and arrived in New York on 8 March 1920.

He had great success in the years from 1926 through 1936 and won the Mid-South Open at Pinehurst, North Carolina, in 1928 and the New Jersey State Pro/Am on a number of occasions.

Not unlike other professionals in his day, Forrester traveled south in the winter months to play in tournaments to stay sharp and earn money.
