Media Information ALABAMA ATHLETICS COMMUNICATIONS The Alabama Athletics Communications Office is located on the ground level of Coleman Coliseum in room 170. MEDIA SERVICES Members of the media can obtain updated statistics and daily tournament results for the Crimson Tide women’s golf team during their season via e-mail and at Alabama’s official athletics website at www.rolltide.com. The Athletics Communications office also provides the media with rosters and tee times for any event the Tide is scheduled to host. Credentials usually are not needed to cover an Alabamahosted women’s golf event, but notification of your intent to cover is needed by the Athletics Communications office. SOCIAL MEDIA You can follow the Alabama women's golf team through social media on a variety of platforms. The women's golf offical Facebook page is AlabamaWGolf. Updates on the ladies can also be found on Twitter @AlabamaWGolf and via Instagram at AlabamaWGolf. You can follow all Alabama athletics on Facebook at AlabamaAthletics and on Twitter and Instagram @UA_Athletics. SEC DIGITAL NETWORK The SEC Digital Network offers access to free licensed game highlights and other newsworthy event video, including select live streams, through the SEC Affiliate Network. This annual program is exclusively available to the accredited media. The network covers all teams and all sports for both men’s and women’s teams. Video is delivered through a customizable digital video player immediately after televised games/events. Participating news affiliates also can select individual clips to insert directly into online stories. Television stations also have access to an FTP account to run content on-air. The SEC Affiliate Network is managed through XOS Digital. To join, please request a participation form from the program’s director, Anna Marie Neri, at aneri@xosdigital. com or at 407-670-5049. INTERNET Information about the University of Alabama’s athletics can be found online at the Crimson

Tide official athletics site: www.rolltide.com. For information about the Crimson Tide women’s golf program, select that area from the main menu. Information on the web includes statistics, results, biographies and other historical information. TELEVISION The University of Alabama, through the Crimson Tide Sports Network (CTSN), offers a weekly 15-minute satellite feed consisting of interviews with coaches and athletes, taped video highlights and narrated tape package from September through May. Occasionally, the women’s golf team will be featured in this package. Please call the Athletics Communications office for more details. During the season, the golf team’s progress will be covered each week on “The Crimson Tide This Week,” a 30-minute regional sports show. INTERVIEWS Head coach Mic Potter is available for interviews and can be reached through the Alabama Athletics Communications office, due to the extensive time the golf coaching staff spends outside on the course. Team practice sessions rotate times and locations daily, depending on upcoming events and areas of practice emphasis. Because of this, media are required to make golf interview requests at least 24 hours in advance. All golf interviews must be arranged through Josh Maxson in the Athletics Communications office at 205-348-7496. FACILITIES As part of the Crimson Tradition Fund facility upgrades, Alabama’s home golf course — Ol’ Colony — has some recent additions that serve to turn the course into the Tide’s real home. Construction took place in 2004 on the Jerry Pate Golf Center, UA’s private practice facility and clubhouse that includes coaches offices, a fully furnished locker room and a team room. Ol’ Colony, a course designed by former UA men’s golf standout Jerry Pate, serves as the team’s home course. In addition to its “home” course, the Alabama men’s golf team benefits from the opportunity of being able to access several golf courses in the Tuscaloosa area for practice, including NorthRiver Yacht Club and Indian Hills Country Club.
