Now in his seventh year at Troy, Matt Terry has a distinction very few in the Division I golf circle has - he serves as head coach of both the men's and women's golf teams. During his tenure at Troy, he has led both programs to top 10 finishes and tournament titles on a regular basis, while balancing double the administrative duties.
Prior to coming to Troy, Terry served as the head coach at Shelton State Community College in Tuscaloosa, Ala. During his three seasons there, he led the Buccaneers to the national tournament three times, finishing in third place twice before winning the championship in 2002.
A native of Moulton, Ala., Terry has been an avid golfer since dropping baseball to concentrate on the sport in high school. He has served as director of the Tuscaloosa Junior Golf Tour, supervising up to 175 children ages 8 to 18. Terry also has experience as a teacher, serving as the assistant pro at the Turtle Creek Golf Club in Rockledge, Fla.
Terry has professional experience playing on the Hooters, Central Florida/Tommy Armour and North Florida PGA Winter tours. He also participated in the 1988 PGA Tour Qualifying Tournament, better known as q-school.
Terry led the Trojans to multiple wins and academic achievements in the 2011-2012 season including the men's team receiving the Fred B. Davis award, which is given to the team with the top GPA (3.27).
The men's team did not claim any team titles during the 2011-2012 season, but they did accomplish many other feats worth noting. They beat Florida State at the USF Invitational and tied Georgia at the Furman Intercollegiate, which were both teams ranked in the top-25 at the time of each tournament.
Terry led the men to an 82-62-5 record and ranked fourth in the conference in scoring average. In addition, the men's freshman class ranked in the top-25 in freshman impact rankings.
Born in Augusta, Ga., Terry received a marketing degree from Alabama in 1996. He is married to the former Dixie McCreless and has three children, Mya (11), Alyssa (8) and Sawyer (1).
