Episode 20 - Jake Lauber’s on the Off Season

Putt And Approach Radio

Welcome to Putt and Approach Radio, episode 20. I’m Connor Kisling and I’ll be joined by Jake Lauber to find out what he’ll be doing during the midwest disc golf off season. Thanks for coming back for another installment of Putt and Aporoach Radio, the best disc golf podcast in Iowa. The voice you heard over the intro music just now was my good friend Jacob who also happens to be a Patreon patron. If you want to record an intro for the show like jacob did then head over to Patreon.com/puttandapproachradio and donate at the ‘Par’ level. On today’s show I asked local pro Jake Lauber what he does over the frigid winter months and whether of not he thinks strapping on a pair of boots and throwing on your thickest winter coat to play some disc golf in the snow will help you get ahead of the fair weather competitors. Jake has been on a few times before and like always he brings us some good tips on how to play and train like a pro. Today he’ll share some advice for staying limber while you patiently await warmer weather. I’m sure we’re all dreaming of moving towards the equator so we can play year round right now but what do you think? Are you going to strap on and bundle up for some golf or are you going to stay indoors and hit the gym to train that core during the worst months of the year? I think Jake made some good points for staying indoors during the cold snowy months but we’re not all professionals and most, if not all, of us play for the enjoyment of the disc. Personally I think a good medium would work for the average disc golfer like myself and I don’t think you’re a midwest disc golfer until you’ve played a round in a foot of snow with ribbon taped to the top of your disc. And as far as putting goes I’ll be hitting the practice basket in my hall as well as trying to make the indoor putting leagues that Jason Bock and the Lauber's over at Bike World put on. Both are extremely fun and a great way to continue to enjoy disc golf while honing your skills over the winter. But I wanna know what you’re doing this “off season” so head over to the Facebook group for Putt and Approach Radio and let me know. I also mentioned the AGL cyprese which I’ve yet to throw so I may do some field work with it and either make a video or post an audio review so you know what I think. Plus I’ll let you know a little bit about the AGL disc golf company. But that’s it for today’s show. I’m hoping to be back next week with another guest so make sure to subscribe to the show in your favorite podcasting app or check out the shows Facebook page and group, Twitter or Instagram for updates on what’s going on with the podcast. I’ve been Connor Kisling and you’ve been listening to Putt and Approach Radio now go stock up on hand warmers and long johns because it’s going to be a long winter. Thanks for Listening!
