Known as an intense competitor throughout his career, Terry More demonstrated sustained excellence by winning golf championships for over 40 years as a junior, amateur and senior. Whether the format was stroke play or match play, More was in his element.
Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba in 1947, More became a member of Southwood Golf & Country Club in 1957 and developed proficiency in the game quickly. In 1964, he won his first provincial championship, the Manitoba Junior, at his home course. His fine play in the summer of 1964 continued when he played himself into the semi-final round of the 1964 Canadian Junior. More followed up that performance by being a quarter-finalist in the 1965 Canadian Junior.
More won the 1967 Manitoba Amateur Championship and earned a place on five Manitoba Willingdon Cup Teams (1972, 1978, 1979, 1981 and 1982). He was the winner of four Harold Eidsvig Memorial Trophies (1976, 1977, 1978 and 1981) emblematic of being the low amateur in the Manitoba Open. Many of these accomplishments took place when More was a member of Elmhurst Golf & Country Club from 1975 until 1991.
More played great in the 1978 Manitoba Open, not only winning the low amateur but also placing second overall for the championship. For these accomplishments, More was named Manitoba Golfer of the Year in 1978.
More did not slow down when he became a senior, winning four consecutive Manitoba Rural Senior Championships (2004 – 2007) as a member of Quarry Oaks Golf Course. He placed second in the 2003 Manitoba Senior Championship and was a member of the Manitoba Senior Team in 2004.
Other golf achievements included four City of Winnipeg Municipal Championships and two runner – up finishes in the Manitoba Match Play Championship.
Terry and his son Peter More are the only father – son duo to each win both the Manitoba Junior and Amateur Championships.
