With an amateur handicap of (+5), Moriarty outstanding career as a full-time amateur golfer, coupled with a reputation for being one of the most exciting and aggressive players on the world amateur circuit in recent years. He was part of the Irish national team set up since he was sixteen years old and has enjoyed success not only in the most prestigious Irish amateur tournaments, but also in major amateur golf events all over the world.
In 2003, Colm astounded the world amateur game by winning both the Australian (NSW) amateur stroke play and match play titles in New South Wales, Australia. This marked the first time that any player managed to win both titles in one season for almost 30 years.

This victory marked the first time that the Great Britain & Ireland team managed to win three Walker Cup titles in a row.

He showed his true potential in the 2005 Nissan Irish Open on the European Tour, when he received a sponsors invite to play in the event and went on to finish a dazzling 13th place, with Padraig Harrington being the only Irish player to finish ahead of him. Colm had a number of impressive finishes on the Challenge Tour in the 2005 season, the highlight of which was second position in the Kazakhstan Open.
