"I'm extremely pleased to be joining the Kent State women's golf program. I'll be looking forward to building on the foundation from the Coach Morrow years and the success that those teams have had," said Robertson on the university's website. "I'm thrilled to be part of an athletic program in which the commitment, resources, and facilities devoted to golf are second to none. Everything is in place for this team to be nationally competitive year in and year out. It's exciting to start my first year with four of the five players returning on a team that just won the MAC Championship and finished 12th at Regionals."

Not only is Robertson considered to be a stellar coach, but he's also an accomplished golfer. 

Following his final collegiate season, Robertson competed professionally for three seasons. He played on the Canadian Tour in 2000.
