Successful in competition and as a coach, Carol Green Robertson continues to add to her golf resume as the first women's golf Hall of Fame inductee in JMU history.

Women's golf officially became a CAA sport in 2003 with Robertson claiming medalist honors and CAA Player of the Year accolades in the first season. She made it consecutive CAA Player of the Year laurels in 2004 with a third-place finish in the league championship event. Robertson advanced to twice represent JMU in NCAA Regional competition and was later named to the CAA Silver Anniversary Team, recognizing the best 25 players in the conference's first 25 seasons.

Following her graduation with a Bachelor of Science in public administration with a concentration in criminal justice, Robertson's competitive success continued by claiming the 2006 Virginia State Amateur Championship and reaching the finals of the 2010 U.S. Women's Mid-Amateur Championship. Robertson served one year as an assistant coach at JMU and two years as head coach at Old Dominion.

She was hired in 2013 to start the women's golf program at Virginia Tech and, in just its third year of existence, led the program to a team NCAA Regional appearance, adding a second straight showing in 2019. Individually, she coached Amanda Hollandsworth to a fifth-place finish at the NCAA Championship Final as the first-ever Hokie to qualify.
