Faces of disc golf - Patrik Arve
Who are you?
I am a 57 year old vegan, happily married with 3 kids.
I produce, write, sing, perform and play music currently in @teddybearsmusic,
@papasoundmusic, Swedish Tiger Sound, @brodernalindgren and @nyakrosus.
I recently made for Swedish Television a kids show called ”Ibbe and Arve”
where I am acting and made 10 songs in different genres for each episode.
I also have a food company called ”Okeff”, which is at the moment producing and selling in Swedish stores, a vegan sausage under the name of
”skärpning på alla plan”. We also have a lot of other products ready in the pipeline.
I am a partner in a new disc golf brand called Tefat Sport @tefatsport.
Our first prototype fairway disc just left Sweden to get PDGA approved.
I am currently working on art exhibitions.
And had some art in a gallery in Stockholm called Sven Harrys
a couple of months ago.
Me and David Stark made a 350 pages thick book
about Swedish Disc Golf, @discgolfboken, it was released last summer.

What’s disc golf to you?
Discgolf to me is a life saver.
I threw my first disc back in 1978 at Kärsö Disc Golf park.
I am trying to be in that environment as much as I can.
Sometimes 6 days a week.
-
Forehand or Backhand?
Both, because you need a versatile toolbox.
-
Favorite disc golf course?
I loved Järva Disc Golf Park before they rape it.
I also love Bro and Lundby Park. But recently I played A6 in Jönköping and that course takes the prize. All the courses mentioned have brainy holes with a lot of love to details.

Favorite item in your bag?
My go to Rhyno from way way back.

Peace Arve
