The sound of a driver cracking the ball from the tee box is music to many ears in the Yampa Valley, after the groundcover switches from white to green. In Steamboat, golf has always been a popular summer pastime with three 18-hole courses and one nine-hole course to play.

On June 1, 2022, 50 teams, including a team from sponsor Colorado Group Realty, will take to the fairways to compete in the 34th Annual Y.E.S. (Youth Education Scholarship) Golf Tournament at Rollingstone Ranch Golf Club.

Event to Raise Money for Scholarships

The event is run by the Steamboat Springs Chamber and Young Professionals Network (YPN), to raise money for local scholarships. To date, over $100K has been donated to youth in Routt County. This year $10K will be awarded to a handful of Routt County graduating seniors who meet criteria centered upon academics, evidence of leadership and community integration. Another $3K will be awarded to students at the Colorado Community College Steamboat Springs campus.

“Our mission is to develop the next generation of leaders”, said Angelica Salinas, Membership Director at the Steamboat Springs Chamber and a board member with YPN. Learn more or register at www.steamboatchamber.com
