Cabe Waters begins his first season as the assistant of the Alabama women's golf program. Waters comes to Tuscaloosa after spending last season on Lasprilla's staff as the associate head coach at Houston.

"Cabe will be a great addition to our staff at Alabama," said Lasprilla. "I have thoroughly enjoyed coaching with Cabe throughout our time at Houston and he brings a great skillset that will be vital to our program. I am so happy his family will be joining us in Tuscaloosa and cannot wait to get started."

After competing as a student-athlete at Limestone University, where he was an all-conference golfer, Waters has served as an assistant coach with stints at Missouri (2023-25), Georgia Southern (2021-23) and at Limestone (2017-21) in addition to his last stop at Houston.

"I am incredibly grateful to the University of Alabama and coach Lasprilla for this opportunity to join such a prestigious program," Waters said. "Alabama has made a tremendous investment in its golf programs and has positioned itself for long-term success at the highest level of collegiate golf. I am excited to get to Tuscaloosa and begin working alongside coach Lasprilla to continue building something special. We are committed to competing at the highest level nationally and pursuing championships while creating an environment where our student-athletes can thrive both on and off the course."

Houston - Associate Head Coach (2025-26)

In his lone season at Houston, Waters helped guide the Cougars to its first-ever NCAA Championship appearance.
The Cougars made history in 2025-26 with the team's first NCAA Championships appearance.
The Cougars set a school record in postseason play with a score of 13-under 275 in the second round of the NCAA Simpsonville Regional at Louisville Golf Club and earned the program's best regional finish with a second-place showing to advance to the NCAA Championships as a team for the first time in school history.

Missouri - Assistant Coach (2023-25)

During the 2024-25 season, Waters helped lead Missouri to three Top-Three team finishes, including second-place showings at the Johnie Imes Invitational and the Marilynn Smith Sunflower Showdown.
In his first season at Missouri during the 2023-24 season, Waters helped the Tigers set a program record with a 293.1 stroke average - nearly four strokes better than the previous season.
The Tigers collected their first SEC Golfer of the Week accolade in program history when Melanie Walker earned the award while Fleur van Beek was named the conference's Freshman of the Week later in the season after becoming the first MU rookie to win an individual title in 26 seasons.

Georgia Southern - Assistant Coach (2021-23)

After leaving Limestone, Waters worked for two seasons at Georgia Southern from 2021 to 2023.
Waters helped lead the Eagles to their most successful run in team history, producing one WGCA All-American Scholar, two All-Sun Belt Conference First-Team honorees and the Sun Belt Conference Individual Champion, Freshman of the Year and Newcomer of the Year.
Joining a team that won two titles in its first six seasons as a program, Georgia Southern claimed six tournament championships in his two years on campus. Highlighting the run was the winning the 2022 Sun Belt Championship - the first in program history - and advancing to the NCAA Tallahassee Regional, where the program finished seventh.
Georgia Southern also claimed three individual titles with Waters on the staff while carding eight of the 10 lowest rounds in program history. Overall, the Eagles set school records for team tournament score, individual tournament score and lowest team round during his tenure.

During his tenure, the Saints produced 27 All-Conference selections, three Conference Carolinas Players of the Year, two Jack Nicklaus Award semifinalists and 11 WGCA/PING All-Americans while winning 17 tournament team championships.
In 2018-19 alone, both men's and women's programs qualified for NCAA Regional play with the women's squad advancing to match play at the NCAA Division II Championships in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.
