FACILITIES As part of the Crimson Tradition Fund facility upgrades, Alabama’s home golf course — Ol’ Colony — has some recent renovations that serve to turn the course into the Tide’s real home with new green complexes and added length. The Alabama golf program is housed in the Jerry Pate Golf Center (2004), the Tide’s private practice facility and clubhouse that includes coaches’ offices, a fully furnished locker room and a team room. The Pate Center also provides Alabama golfers a myriad of chipping and putting greens, target greens and a full driving range. 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.

2013-14 OUTLOOK
MEN’S GOLF PREVIEW By Christopher Walsh
It’s the kind of change that every coach dreams of someday making, a change Jay Seawell got to help make for the University of Alabama’s golf facility, the Jerry Pate Golf Center at the Ol’ Colony Golf Complex.
“It’s pretty incredible,” said Cory Whitsett about the course that has changed very little over the years. “I’ve never seen anything quite like it, it’s very unique.”
This fall, a pedestal like the one for the Heisman Trophy in the football building is being added to the middle of the front entrance. On it, the 2013 men’s and the 2012 women’s national championship trophies will stand side-by-side, making them the first things everyone sees when walking through the door.
Justin Thomas, who in 2012 was the first Alabama golfer to win both the Fred Haskins and Jack Nicklaus awards as the nation’s top player, held off turning pro until after the tournament just so he could experience playing in the Walker Cup.
“A lot is different in that I’m a little bit overwhelmed at how people have taken the championship outside of our circle,” Seawell said about his program winning its first title, 4-1 over Illinois in the match-play finals of the NCAA Division I Championships in June. “What’s changed is the aura of what the championship has brought to our team.” Of course, now comes the tricky part, trying to do it again, but the school year got off to a huge start when the Crimson Tide had a record four players selected for the Walker Cup, the amateur version of the Ryder Cup. Played in September, it was the 44th edition of the United States versus a team from Great Britain and Ireland, but at the same location as the first match in 1922, the National Golf Links of America in Southampton, N.Y.

ALABAMA MEN’S GOLF
Joining him on the American team were Whitsett and Bobby Wyatt, who will anchor the Crimson Tide this season with fellow senior Trey Mullinax and sophomore Tom Lovelady, while incoming freshman Gavin Moynihan was selected for the Great Britain and Irish team. Whitsett led the Crimson Tide a season ago with a 71.08 scoring average while earning SEC Player and Student-Athlete of the Year honors. He was a consensus first team All-American and earned All-Nicklaus team recognition. Wyatt was also a first team All-American while posting a 71.29 stroke average. Mullinax was key to Alabama’s success down the stretch in 2013, starting the final five events, averaging 72.77 strokes per round and winning his semifinal and final matches at the NCAA Championships. Lovelady has started seven career events 73.96 career scoring average.
OUTLOOK The youngest player to ever play in the Irish Open and the 2012 Irish Amateur Open champion had only enjoyed a couple of practice rounds with his new teammates before heading off to New York to try and beat them.
2013-14 OUTLOOK
“Between here and Auburn was the choice,” Moynihan said about his recruitment, which began with an email from Seawell last year and quickly progressed from there. “Everyone at home knows they lost the national final two years ago and won this year. Everyone was like ‘Geez, you’re going off to a good school, good golf school, great academically as well.” Moynihan, who is 18, did attend an Alabama football game while being recruited and “didn’t have a clue to what was going on.” He’s looking forward to going back and having a better idea. Also new on the roster is incoming freshman Robby Shelton of Wilmer, Ala., who was considered the nation’s top recruit and won the 2012 Junior PGA and Junior Players titles. “They’re very confident and have big games, meaning intimidating games, and I hate using the word intimidating because of the way it sounds,” Seawall said of his roster. “It’s kind of turn-your-head good. We hit it far, we manage the ball. They play big-boy golf.” Alabama also made an offseason move on its coaching staff by adding former Oklahoma State coach Mike McGraw to be Sewell’s assistant. With the Cowboys winning the 2006 national title (and was second in 2010), the Crimson Tide is the only golf program in the nation with two coaches who have won an NCAA championship. So while the program’s success means that the front-room trophy cabinets at Ol’ Colony will also have to be redesigned and expanded to accommodate the steady influx of hardware, there’s no doubt about which team will be the primary target for everyone else to try and topple this season. “We love that,” Seawell said.

JAY SEAWELL Head Coach
12th Season
SOUTH CAROLINA, 1988 Jay Seawell has not only rekindled the proud tradition of the Alabama men’s golf program, he has entrenched the Crimson Tide in the forefront of the nation’s elite teams and secured the program’s first national championship. Seawell guided Alabama to the sport’s pinnacle in 2013 and the 12th-year head coach is charged with sustaining one of the country’s top programs. The golf team’s success under Seawell has energized the Tide’s alumni base and created an excitement for Alabama golf not seen in recent memory. Named the University of Alabama’s head men’s golf coach on July 26, 2002, Seawell’s teams have captured three Southeastern Conference championships. He has led the Tide to 10 NCAA

Tournament appearances and seven NCAA Championships berths – all in the past nine years. His 2012 team reached the NCAA Finals, falling by one shot to Texas. The Crimson Tide then used that experience to fuel a return trip to the NCAA Finals in 2013 and the program’s first NCAA National Championship title. Seawell consistently has been producing headline-worthy student-athletes, on the course and in the classroom, while his golfers also are among the most active in the Tuscaloosa community, volunteering their time at schools and helping host athleticdepartment sponsored events for local children. In the classroom, the men’s golf team has put 59 players on the SEC Academic Honor Roll in the past 11 years while eight players (13 honors) have been named to the Cleveland Golf All-America Scholar Team. Joseph Sykora was a three-time Capital One/ CoSIDA Academic All-American and was voted by the league golf coaches as the SEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year an SEC-record three times. In 2008, Sykora received the SEC’s H. Boyd McWhorter ScholarAthlete Award (all sports, all males in the league) and Alabama’s Bryant Award, as the top male studentathlete from any sport. Cory Whitsett received the 2012 and 2013 NCAA Elite 89 Award, presented annually to the golfer at the NCAA Championships with the highest GPA. He also was named a 2013 Capital One/CoSIDA Academic All-American and the SEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year. On the golf course, Seawell has coached 24 All-Americans during his career, with four in 2011-12 (Justin Thomas, Whitsett, Bobby Wyatt and Hunter Hamrick) and five in 2012-13 (Whitsett, Wyatt, Thomas, Trey Mullinax and Scott Strohmeyer). His golfers at Alabama have been nominated for the sport’s highest national awards, including the Ben Hogan Award, the
Jack Nicklaus Award, the Fred Haskins Award, the Phil Mickelson Award and the Byron Nelson Award. Thomas received the Nicklaus, Haskins and Mickelson awards in 2012. Seawell has coached Alabama to 33 team tournament championships, with 25 individual medalists in 11 years in Tuscaloosa. Alabama’s 2013 NCAA Championship title concluded an historic season at the Capstone that saw the Crimson Tide win a school-record eight times in 12 events and post a 154-15-3 (.904) cumulative record. Alabama won seven of eight events that spring, including the final six events. The Crimson Tide finished tied for third in the stroke-play portion of the NCAA Championships before rolling through three rounds of match play with victories over New Mexico (4-1), Georgia Tech (3-0-2) and Illinois (4-1) in the finals. Alabama also won the school’s fourth SEC Championship title, second straight and third under the direction of Seawell, with a two-shot win at the Sea Island Golf Club. The Tide then went on to win the program’s second straight NCAA Regional Championship title with a victory in Baton Rouge. The 2012-13 Crimson Tide team was led by a trio of first team All-Americans: Whitsett, Wyatt and Thomas. The Tide boasted five All-Americans in all, with Trey Mullinax (PING) and Scott Strohmeyer (Golfweek) both receiving honorable mention AllAmerica honors. Whitsett was the SEC Player of the Year and one of the league’s Scholar-Athletes of the Year while winning two times and being selected to the All-Nicklaus team. Thomas, a sophomore in 201213, also won twice to set Alabama’s career record for victories with six. Whitsett, Thomas and Wyatt all were selected for the United States 2013 Walker Cup team. Seawell was named the 2013 SEC Coach of the Year for the second time in as many years and third

overall while also being named a finalist for the 2013 Dave Williams Award (national coach of the year). The 2011-12 Alabama team captured the SEC Championship, NCAA Athens Regional and a runnerup finish at the NCAA Championships. The Tide won the stroke-play portion of the NCAA Championships at Riviera Country Club with a 7-over 859. Alabama then dispatched of Kent State (3-1-1) in the quarterfinals of match play and California (3-2) in the semifinals. The Crimson Tide’s bid for the national championship fell one match short, as the Tide were edged by Texas (3-2) in the NCAA Finals. Alabama won five of the final seven team events heading into the 2012 NCAA Championships with victories at the Puerto Rico Classic, the Schenkel Invitational, the Linger Longer Invitational, the SEC Championship and the NCAA Athens Regional. The 2011-12 Tide set school records for team season scoring average at 284.56 (.78 vs. par), low round vs. par at 20-under 268, and low 54 holes vs. par at 47-under 817. Seawell was named the SEC Coach of the Year for the second time and was a finalist for the 2012 Dave Williams Award (national coach of the year). Seawell also coached impact freshman Thomas to unseen heights in 2011-12. The rookie from Goshen, Ky., won a school-record four times, including medalist

honors at the SEC Championship. For his efforts, Thomas was named the SEC Player and Freshman of the Year and was the first Tide player to be selected as the national player of the year.

MIKE MCGRAW Assistant Coach
1st Season
CENTRAL OKLAHOMA, 1982 University of Alabama men’s golf coach Jay Seawell added another national championship winning coach to the Crimson Tide staff with the addition of former Oklahoma State head coach Mike McGraw as the program’s assistant coach. McGraw, who joined the staff in July of 2013, comes to Tuscaloosa after eight years at the helm of the Oklahoma State program, leading the Cowboys to the 2006 NCAA Championship and an NCAA runner-up finish in 2010. His OSU teams won 30 overall tournaments and advanced to the NCAA Championships seven times, recording five top-five finishes. McGraw’s Cowboys also won five Big 12 Championships while his players captured 30 medalist honors during his tenure in Stillwater. Beyond the team success that the Cowboys achieved while McGraw was the head coach at Oklahoma State, he also was recognized as one of the
nation’s top recruiters. ESPN The Magazine tabbed him as one of top-20 recruiters nationally across all sports, evidenced by the numerous PGA Tour players he has helped produced, including Rickie Fowler, Hunter Mahan, Charles Howell III, Morgan Hoffmann and Casey Wittenberg. McGraw was a five-time Big 12 Coach of the Year and the 2006 and 2009 GCAA Dave Williams Coach of the Year. McGraw’s players at Oklahoma State also achieved tremendous individual success, with Peter Uihlein winning the 2010 United States Amateur and Jordan Niebrugge becoming the first player in OSU program history to win the U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship in 2013. McGraw replaces former Tide assistant Rob Bradley, who was named the head coach at Purdue. Bradley earlier had replaced Scott Limbaugh, who took over the Vanderbilt program in the summer of 2012. McGraw’s duties with the Crimson Tide will include assisting Seawell in day-to-day operations of the program while also serving as the recruiting coordinator and assisting in player development. He is the Director of the Alabama Golf Academy while overseeing alumni relations and the Crimson Tide Open. Before becoming the Cowboys head coach in 2006, McGraw was the Oklahoma State head women’s golf coach during the 2004-05 season, directing the Cowgirls to the Big 12 Championship. He came to OSU in the fall of 1997 and spent seven years as the Cowboys assistant coach. During McGraw’s tenure as an assistant coach for the men’s team, the Cowboys won 16 tournament titles and produced 19 AllAmericans. OSU enjoyed great success at the NCAA Championship with McGraw on staff, winning its ninth national title in 2000. McGraw came to Oklahoma State in 1997 after heading the golf program at Edmond (Okla.) North High School for four seasons. Under his watch, the Huskies captured three state titles. Overall, his
Edmond North squads won 36 out of 46 tournaments entered and were runners-up on seven other occasions. He also served as an assistant coach at Edmond Memorial High School from 1987 until 1993, helping the Bulldogs reach six state championships in seven seasons. The Daily Oklahoman’s Coach of the Year in 1994, 1996 and 1997, McGraw served as the president of the Oklahoma Golf Coaches Association in 1994. During his time in Edmond, he coached even individual state champions and sent over 20 players on to play at the Division I level. In addition to his coaching duties, McGraw served as the junior golf director at Kicking Bird Golf Course in Edmond for several years. He also taught in the Edmond Public Schools system from 1990-97. As a player, McGraw was a three-year letterwinner for Central Oklahoma and was named an honorable mention All-American in 1981, after finishing 16th at the NAIA Championship. He graduated from UCO with a bachelor’s degree in broadcast communications in 1982. McGraw and his wife, Pam, were married in October of 1996.

ACADEMIC SUCCESS
EXCELLENCE IN THE CLASSROOM
Cory Whitsett The Crimson Tide golf team has a history of producing some of the University’s best athletes and brightest students. Joseph Sykora, a senior in 2008, became the first men’s golfer (from any school) to be a three-time winner of the Southeastern Conference Scholar-Athlete of the Year award, winning in 2006, 2007 and 2008 with his perfect 4.0 GPA. Cory Whitsett has since followed it with two NCAA Elite 89 Awards (2012 and 2013) and was named a Capital One/CoSIDA Academic AllAmerican in 2013. Sykora was a three-time Academic All-American, winning in one of the toughest categories, the at-large division, which includes student-athletes from several sports. Sykora finished his Crimson Tide career by capturing the H. Boyd McWorter Award, given to the SEC’s Student-Athlete of the Year. The 2010, 2011 and 2012 seasons each saw six Alabama golfers earn SEC Academic Honor Roll accolades while five were chosen in 2013. The list includes players such as Bud Cauley, Hunter Hamrick, Lee Knox, Trey Mullinax, Hunter Slatton, Scott Strohmeyer, Phillip Weaver, Cory Whitsett, Bobby Wyatt and Justin Thomas. Cauley and Hamrick also garnered Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-American Scholar honors in 2011 and Hamrick became a two-time honoree in 2012. Whitsett, Wyatt, Strohmeyer and Mullinax were all honored as All-American Scholars in 2013. Whitsett became the first men’s golfer from Alabama to be honored with the NCAA Elite 89 Award in 2012 and made it back to back honors in 2013. The NCAA Elite 89 Award is given to the competing player with the highest GPA at the NCAA Championships. Standing out in the classroom and playing a year-long sport is a feat not easily achieved. Golfers contend with a season that starts in early September and continues through the last week of May with the NCAA Championships. Despite those demands, Alabama has produced 111 Academic All-SEC golfers since 1985. Joseph Joyner was the first Tide golfer to be named to the Academic All-SEC Honor Roll. In 2004 when the SEC began its Freshman Academic Honor Roll, since that time, the Crimson Tide have had 13 players honored. Encouraging academic success is as much a part of Alabama’s coaching mantra as winning championships. Celebrating academic success is also a priority. Six Alabmaa men’s golfers have received Alabama’s highest-academic honor for an athlete, The Bryant Award. Michael Thompson is the most recent of the winners, taking the trophy in 2008. The award is announced each spring and is
given to the top male and top female student-athlete at the University, placing emphasis on athletic achievement, academic achievement and leadership. Dicky Pride, Marten Olander, Dan Mutert, Allan MacDonald and Thompson are the men’s golfers who have won the Bryant Award. Olander, an All-American on the golf course and a four-time Academic All-American, won the Ben Hogan Award in 1993. Pride is a PGA Tour player. Seawell and assistant coach Mike McGraw work closely with the Center for Academic Student Services. Former Tide golfer Lance Walker is an assistant on that staff. CASS monitors the academic progress of each athlete who wears a Crimson Tide uniform and advises the athletes on areas of study that best suit their capabilities and dreams. Study hall is required for all freshmen and for any athletes whose grades aren’t Academic All-SEC worthy. Jon Dever is Alabama’s Associate Athletics Director for Student Services. The CASS Center is located in the Bryant Academic Center, as is the Champs’ Lifeskills program. The Bryant Academics Center, which houses the CASS staff and is a frequent stop in the daily lives of Alabama’s student-athletes, is the crown jewel in the Alabama athletic department’s Crimson Tradition Fund facility enhancement campaign. The renovation project at Bryant Hall was completed for $10.3 million in 2005. “This project has been priority one since we started the renovations of our athletic facilities,” said former UA athletics director Mal Moore. “Academics are at the center of our mission at Alabama and we wanted to create a place that would aid all our student-athletes in their educational pursuits. I feel very strongly that Bryant Hall will benefit every student-athlete, not just during their years at Alabama, but for a lifetime.” Among the building’s many amenities is a 48-seat computer lab equipped with brand-new equipment. The computer lab has 25 laptop computers available for student-athletes to check out and use on team road trips. The building features math, English and writing labs along with 40 individual study rooms. A pair of 50-seat classrooms and a 140-seat lecture hall are also available. The lobby of the building showcases the Crimson Tide Academic Hall of Fame with plaques recognizing all of Alabama’s Academic All-American selections.

The Jerry Pate Golf Center at the Ol’ Colony Golf Complex provides the University of Alabama men’s golf team with one of the best practice and playing facilities in collegiate golf. The Pate Golf Center is a private facility that is only utilized by the Alabama golf teams. The Pate Golf Center provides plenty of space for both the men’s and women’s teams with the ability to conduct full practice sessions during inclement weather. The facility has six indoor hitting bays and two indoor putting surfaces. The Pate Golf Center is also equipped with state-of-the-art teaching tools, including the V1 Swing Analysis System, the SAM Putting Lab and Trackman, which aides the coaching staff in ball flight analysis using doppler radar and club fitting. The locker rooms inside the Pate Golf Center feature tour-sized lockers and all of the amenities, while the lounge area includes comfortable seating and a large-screen television. The Ol’ Colony Golf Course was named one of the “Top 5 Best New Public Courses in America” by Golf Digest in 2001 and Golfweek named it one of the top-50 municipal courses in America in 2010. The Jerry Pate-designed course is considered one of the best public courses in the nation. The course is a test for even the most advanced golfer with large bunkers, mature trees and numerous water hazards, including a 25-acre lake that challenges almost every shot. The practice range at the Pate Golf Center, which already provides the Crimson Tide golfers all of the practice components and tools needed to develop, recently finished an expansion and renovation. The practice facility includes a full practice range, putting greens, a chipping area and practice bunkers. The Jerry Pate Golf Center recently has added a new putting green with an expanded chipping and hitting area. The new chipping and hitting areas are complete with new bunkers and practice tees that allow players to hit their own golf balls up to 200 yards into six new target greens.

The Crimson Tide also won the Southeastern Conference title and the NCAA Baton Rouge Regional on the way to the NCAA title at the Capital City Club’s Crabapple Course just outside of Atlanta. The Tide set a school record for team victories in a season with eight (out of 12 events) while winning the final six tournaments of the year and seven of eight on the spring schedule. Alabama’s national championship squad featured five All-Americans, including three first-team honorees in Bobby Wyatt, Cory Whitsett and Justin Thomas while Trey Mullinax and Scott Strohmeyer earned honorable mention accolades. Whitsett was the SEC Player of the Year and shared SEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year honors. Senior captain Scott Strohmeyer finished his Alabama career by winning the NCAA Baton Rouge Regional title and then delivering a 2-0-1 record in match play at the NCAA Championships.

JERRY PATE NATIONAL INTERCOLLEGIATE
THE JERRY PATE NATIONAL INTERCOLLEGIATE JERRY PATE NATIONAL INTERCOLLEGIATE
RECORDS & HISTORY
Each October, 12 of the nation’s best men’s college golf teams gather in Vestavia Hills, Ala., for the University of Alabama’s annual Jerry Pate National Intercollegiate. In addition to welcoming a premier field for this elite event, the tournament annually raises some $20,000 for charities. The host and tournament namesake Jerry Pate, is the most successful professional golfer to have worn the Crimson and White. The former Tide golfer and current Champions Tour player proudly lends his name and plays an active role — from team selection to presenting the awards trophies. Pate and Alabama have hosted this event since 1986. Originally the tournament was held in Pate’s hometown of Pensacola, Fla. He moved the tournament in 1992 to Birmingham’s Shoal Creek where it remained for five years. In 1997, the JPNI moved to its current home, the Old Overton Club. The strength of the JPNI field makes it a premier team fall gathering. Even the selection committee is a powerful one. The tournament’s selection committee has included PGA greats Arnold Palmer, Ben Crenshaw and Mark McCormack. The committee seeks the highest-ranked teams from the previous season that are expected to again be in the national title hunt. In the fall of 2004 Georgia finished fourth at the JPNI but went on that spring to win the NCAA title. The 1995 JPNI champion Arizona State, won the (spring) 1996 NCAA Championship while fall 1997 JPNI participant UNLV didn’t win the JPNI, but went on to win the 1998 NCAA title. The 1994 field included all of the top nine team from the 1994 NCAA Championships, including National Champion, and 1994 Jerry Pate champion, Stanford, which was led by 1994 U.S. Amateur Champion Tiger Woods. Woods was also the 1994 JPNI medalist. Other prominent medalists have included LSU’s David Tomas (1988), Arizona’s Rory Sabbatini (1997), Georgia Tech’s Bryce Molder (2000), Oklahoma State’s Hunter Mahan (2001) and Wake Forest’s Bill Haas (2002). Alabama joined the list of JPNI participants that went on to win the NCAA National Championship. The Tide won the 2012 Jerry Pate Natoinal Intercollegiate and then emerged victorious at the 2013 NCAA Championships. The Crimson Tide has experienced recent success in the Jerry Pate National Intercollegaite, winning five of the past seven years. The Crimson Tide has also seen five players capture medalist honors over the years, including David Kirkpatrick in 1991, Joseph Sykora in 2006, Mark Harrell in 2007, Hunter Hamrick in 2009 and Justin Thomas in 2012.

Jerry Pate was a mere 22 years old when he won the United States Open in 1976, and that wasn’t even the first time he’d made major national headlines. He did that in 1974 when he won the United States Amateur — only weeks before he started his senior season on the University of Alabama’s golf team.

HOW IT WORKS Each May, the NCAA hosts six regionals, which are spread around the country and provide for exciting golf from coast to coast. The six-regional format was started at the 2009 NCAA Championships and replaced the old three-regional system that began play in 1992 when the NCAA first instituted a regional format. Each of the six 2014 regional sites will qualify five teams for the NCAA Championship Finals, being held at the Prairie Dunes Country Club in Hutchinson, Kan., on May 23-28, 2014. Those 30 teams will then play 54 holes of stroke play (May 23-25) and cut to the top-eight teams for match play. A fourth round of stroke play — top 40 individuals and ties — will crown an individual medalist on May 26. Match play is seeded according to stroke-play finish. The No. 1 team will face the No. 8 team, No. 2 will face No. 7, No. 3 vs. No. 6 and No. 4 vs. No. 5. Match play quarterfinals and semifinals will be held on May 27, followed by the finals on May 28. Teams are selected for regional competition based upon their overall tournament finishes and head-to-head finishes against other teams that are in their region. Selection is made by a regional committee compromised of head coaches. From 1989 through the 2008 NCAA Championships, the finals consisted of 72 holes of play with a cut after 54 holes to the top-15 teams.
