Scott Moore
Class of 2011
Scott Moore grew up in Huntsville and developed into one of the most accomplished amateur golfers ever produced in the Tennessee Valley. Born June 19, 1969, Moore began playing golf at the age of seven, and his talent quickly became evident. Over the next several years he dominated youth golf throughout the region, winning 25 local, regional and national tournaments between 1976 and 1983.
The son of Robert E. and Sara Moore, Scott spent countless hours refining his game on Huntsville courses. By the time he reached Lee High School, he had already established himself as one of the area’s most promising young golfers.
At Lee, Moore became the centerpiece of the school’s golf program. He lettered four years and was selected the team’s Most Valuable Player in each of those seasons. During his high school career he won 15 tournaments and placed fifth in the Alabama state tournament in 1987. His accomplishments earned him recognition as a High School Golf All-American.
Moore’s achievements extended beyond tournament victories. He also received the prestigious Eli Wucinich Award, recognizing him as the nation’s top scholar-athlete golfer, an honor reflecting both his excellence on the course and his commitment in the classroom.
He continued his career at Vanderbilt University on a golf scholarship. While competing for the Commodores, Moore lettered all four years and helped elevate the program to national prominence. Vanderbilt reached its first Top-20 national ranking during his tenure, and Moore competed against some of the era’s future PGA Tour stars, including Phil Mickelson and Jim Furyk.
After graduating from Vanderbilt in 1991, Moore returned to Huntsville and remained active in competitive amateur golf. Among his victories were multiple Huntsville Country Club championships and the Goose Pond Invitational.
One of the most remarkable moments of his career occurred in 2001 when Moore recorded both a hole-in-one and a double eagle in the same nine holes at Huntsville Country Club — a feat rarely accomplished in golf.
Professionally, Moore built a distinguished career in business and now serves as Chief Financial Officer of the PPM Division at Intergraph Corporation. He and his wife Lisa live in Hampton Cove and have two daughters, Mackenzie and Madison.
