Steamboat Springs graduating senior takes lessons he learned on course to college

Steamboat Springs — Spencer Petersen isn’t sure what the future holds, but the Steamboat Springs High School senior, who will graduate Saturday, knows that both college and golf will be a part of it.

#On Monday, Peterson became the fourth recipient of the Steamboat Springs Junior Golf Association’s annual scholarship in the past three years. Petersen, who is headed to Western Washington University just outside Bellingham, said he will pursue a chemical engineering degree and was thankful for the $2,000 gift he received from the local junior golfing association.
