John Montague was born in Brooklyn, New York, on February 28, 1929, to James Montague, an Ulster Catholic from County Tyrone. James immigrated to the United States in 1925, where his brother, John, was already residing. Montague’s paternal grandfather, also named John, had been appointed a justice of the peace by Queen Victoria. Montague’s mother Mary Montague (née Carney), sometimes called Molly, immigrated to the U.S. three years after her husband with her three sons in tow. Montague lived in New York City during the Great Depression. His uncle ran a speakeasy in which Montague’s father was also employed. In 1933, Montague and his two brothers, Seamus and Turlough, were sent back to Ireland when their mother fell ill. Montague’s brothers went to live at their maternal grandmother’s home.

John Montague (golfer)

American golfer (1903–1972)

John Montague (August 25, 1903 – May 25, 1972) was an American golfer, who also played some minor-league baseball. Under the name LaVerne Moore, which was his original birth name, he was charged with armed robbery and assault over a 1930 case in upper New York State. He was acquitted in a 1937 trial.^[2]

Montague's life was covered in mystery and numerous stories about his extraordinary golf skills and physical strength. At the time of his arrest he lived with Esther Plunkett, and friends believed they were married.^[3]^[4] After leaving the jail, he could not regain his previous golf shape, due to gained weight and lack of practice. Hence he focused on his real estate business and private golf matches with celebrities. His 1937 charity game against Babe Ruth, Babe Didrikson, and Sylvania Annenberg drew approximately 10,000 spectators.^[5] Montague qualified for the 1940 U.S. Open, but performed poorly there. He died of heart problems, in obscurity, at a residence motel in Studio City
