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. The 25th annual Scott Robertson Memorial will be played at Roanoke Country Club, May 16th, 17th and 18th.

Contestants are divided into four divisions: boys ages 14 and under, boys 15-18, girls ages 14 and under and girls 15-18. The winner in each division will receive a trophy bearing the tournament logo; the top finishers in each division will receive gift certificates. The Scott Robertson Memorial Golf Tournament is also a recognized event by the American Junior Golf Association and the boys and girls winners are automatically AJGA All Americans.
