2022Scott Robertson Memorial Golf Tournament

 

The Scott Robertson Memorial Golf Tournament is a 54-hole stroke play event held in memory of Scott Robertson, a promising young Roanoke Country Club golfer.  Scott, a 14 year-old ninth grader at North Cross School, was a top student and sports enthusiast who had won his age division in several junior golf tournaments.  Scott died as a result of infectious mononucleosis in the summer of 1982.

 

This year, we are extremely delighted to host a field of 165 young golfers, from 28 states & 11 foreign countries (Argentina, Canada, China, Czech Republic, Hong Kong, Israel, Mexico, Puerto Rico, South Korea, Ukraine and Uzbekistan).  They will compete in the 38th annual Scott Robertson Memorial Junior Golf Tournament, at Roanoke Country Club, May 20th, 21st & 22nd..

 

Contestants are divided into four divisions: boys and girls ages 14 and under, and boys and girls 15 to 18.  The winner in each division will receive a crystal trophy, a signed flag by their competitors and the top finishers in each division will receive gift certificates.  The winners of the boys and girls 15-18 divisions will have a tree planted in their honor on the golf courses at Roanoke Country Club. Today you can see 37 years of champion’s trees over the 3 courses.

 

The Scott Robertson Memorial is recognized by the American Junior Golf Association, World Amateur Golf Rankings, Golfweek Rankings and Junior Golf Scoreboard. The boys and girls top finishers are awarded exemptions, based on the AJGA’s Performance Based Entry process.

 

Golfweek ranked The Scott Robertson Memorial as the 14th strongest field for boys and the 9th for girls among all junior tournaments in 2021.
