Cabe Waters joined the University of Houston Women’s Golf program as associate head coach in June 2025.
In that role, he will assist Carolyn Macow Leatherwood Head Coach Lydia Lasprilla in all aspects of the program.
An award-winning student-athlete at Limestone University, Waters – whose first name rhymes with babe – joined the Cougars after previous stints at Missouri (2023-25), Georgia Southern (2021-23) and Limestone (2017-21).
“I wanted to be part of a winning culture, and Lydia has built that. As a coach, you want to compete at the highest level, and you can do that at the University of Houston. Houston provides a world-class environment for their golfers,” Waters said. “I look forward to building relationships with our players, and once you establish that trust, the sky is the limit.
“I am thrilled for Cabe to join Houston Women’s Golf. With more than eight years of coaching experience and his resume, he will be an asset to our program,” Lasprill said. “Coming off our best year in school history, I have no doubt his skills set will help our program continue to climb and rank among the best in the country.”
at MISSOURI
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.
Walker ended the season with the fourth-best stroke average in school history while van Beek posted the third-best mark by a freshman.
at GEORGIA SOUTHERN
After leaving Limestone, Waters worked for two seasons at Georgia Southern from 2021 to 2023.
There, he helped lead the Eagles to their most successful run in team history, producing 1 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.
at LIMESTONE
Following graduation, Waters continued his stay with Limestone Golf as an assistant coach for both the men’s and women’s teams.
In four years, he helped lead the Saints to five NCAA Division II Regionals and a pair of NCAA Division II Championships appearances.
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.
as a STUDENT-ATHLETE
Before entering the coaching ranks, Waters was an award-winning four-year student-athlete at Limestone University from 2014 to 2017.
As a senior in 2017, he named to the Conference Carolinas All-Championship Team and was a member of the All-Conference Carolinas Second Team. He also was recognized as the Conference Carolinas Golfer of the Month in September 2016.
Combined with his work in the classroom, Water was recognized as the league’s Scholar-Athlete of the Year.
He garnered Conference Carolina All-Tournament Team honors and earned a place on the All-Conference Carolina Third Team in 2016.
In addition to his academic achievements, Waters also was named to the Conference Carolinas Presidential Honor Roll multiple times (Fall 2016, Spring 2016, Fall 2014).
Waters received his bachelor’s degree in sport management with a minor in business administration in 2017.
