John Beaumont Beck MC (13 August 1899 – 20 June 1980)[1][2] was an English amateur golfer.

[4] Beck played in the 1928 Walker Cup at Chicago Golf Club in Wheaton, Illinois, a match the Americans won 11–1.

Beck was chosen as the non-playing captain of the 1947 Walker Cup team, again played on the Old Course at St Andrews.

She won the Irish Women's Amateur Close Championship in 1938, winning the title on the first day of the Walker Cup match.

[10] R. C. Robertson-Glasgow said of Beck: Indeed on the links he is an artist; self-reliant and, as you might say, self-supporting; more tightly strung as to temperament than his genial and healthy aspect might convey to the casual eye; fitly framed for strong battle, but not impervious to the access of sometimes unreasonable mistrust in his own skill; an artist in the execution of strokes, especially the spoon shot and the pitch-and-run obediently halting at the correct station; a past master - almost totally 'past' in a world of sullen standardisation - at the selection of those hickory clubs which restore to the mind's fond eye the picture of the professional in the shop parting from some fruits of his craft as reluctantly as a lover from his loved.
