Adapted Golf

Hello APE podcast listeners and welcome to another episode on the What's New in APE platform! For this episode, we had a local non-profit executive director, Steve Husome, come in to our studio to discuss one of his endeavors called "Adaptive Golf Iowa". Adaptive Golf Iowa is a relatively new organization that aims to "spread joy through the game of golf to those living with disabilities throughout Iowa". Recent successes of Adaptive Golf Iowa include purchasing adaptive golf carts (see link for brochure that displays the carts) and putting on annual golf clinics that allow people with disabilities to work on their golfing skills. 

 Within this episode Steve discusses his journey in founding Adaptive Golf Iowa, the mission of the organization, and the power of adaptive golf. Within this conversation, Steve also shares his own experiences as an amputee and how adaptive golf helped him overcome the loss of a limb. Click here to learn more about Adaptive Golf Iowa. In addition, you can learn more about Steve's other non-profit organization "Husome Strong Foundation", which aims "to assist people who have experienced the loss of a limb and are seeking assistance to realize their full potential, and live their lives to the fullest after amputation".
