A full circle experience for the Vanderbilt golf commit.
The 41st annual Scott Robertson Memorial Golf Tournament will be played this weekend at Renault Country Club and the event brings in some of the best junior golfers in the nation. Some even coming from beyond the USA, of course. But nothing beats local talent. A number of players that will be on course are from our area, including Katherine Ha. The Salem senior has played the event for a number of years this year, marking her last. She’s accomplished a lot individually, including multiple VHSL state titles and even a VSGA Junior Girls title. But as she told me, it’s always a treat playing in the Scott Robinson, an event she played for the first time in 2019. It was one of those situations. I was younger than 15, but they got like they gave me the opportunity to play up and that was like the best experience cuz I, you know, I felt so tiny in a field of like much older girls and now being the like old the oldest one almost, it’s like full circle. I think just staying in the moment, staying present because those three days are going to go by pretty fast. But um I feel pretty prepared. I mean, I’ve been playing as much as I could. Catherine is heading to Vanderbilt after her high school career finishes. She te’s off at 9:10 a.m. for round one Friday.
