To Aftonbladet Daniel said:
- It feels a little exciting, a little nervous.
Daniel said that nowadays he plays golf too seldom.
- But in July I play usually a couple times a week.
Peter Forsberg remembers that he played golf in Öland for the first time in 1994. Since then he has played little now and then. It is the tenth year, perhaps.
He has positive thoughts about his and his teammate's chances to win the golf tournament
- Well, no, but the second and better. I think it's a fun event. I get to play with basically the same people every year and we have great fun with this one. Stunning golf course and well organized, so it's a nice weekend.
How is Prince Daniel as a golfer?
- He is really good. We have good matches. He's almost as good as me, says Peter Forsberg and laughs.
Despite persistent rain, and without the slightest sign that the sky would crack up in the sunshine, the attendance at the golf course is relatively large.
Expressen's royal reporter Johan T Lindwall is playing with former football goalkeeper Thomas Ravelli.

From Expressen
Prince Daniel played like a King in the rain
EKERUM. Daniel is not only prince. He can also play golf - like a king.
Despite the heavy rain and wind in five hours, he managed during the day to do 14 strokes under par in his wife Victoria's golf tournament. Daniel and his teammates, including Peter Forsberg, played a round which ended at 58 strokes. Even though it rained from start to finish Daniel did not give up and came after five hours of play in with a result that the other participants envy.
- It's been good. We have gone seven under par so far, told Daniel when they were half way and they managed to keep their results and finished in 58 strokes.
Daniel was concentrated before the race and told me excitedly:
- I'm really loaded. So fun to be here. It's an incredibly nice arrangement. Of course one wants to attend this.
The worst opponents in today's competition were undoubtedly the brothers Ravelli. Thomas has 10.3 handicap and Andreas 12.7. This can be compared with Daniel's 4.4 handicap.It could have been a fight between Daniel and brothers, but afterwards Thomas Ravelli said:
- He was better than us today. But he's a prince and then you should be better, he laughed.
- Despite the weather, it has been fun, told Daniel's team after coming back in the afternoon.
- It was really good in the beginning, Peter Forsberg said.

These photos are taken on Sunday 13th July, before Victoria's birthday. Daniel has played golf since he was 15 years old.

I think he uses contact lenses when he plays golf. Daniel has had glasses since autumn 2003.

I love how they don't run from the rain, nothing wrong with being in the rain as long as it's not a real thunder storm. Rain and snow just make the world seem brighter and cleaner, I always walk in the rain if I am out and about, feels good on the face.
Oh then indeed he is a good golfer, I didn't know that, Thanks Lady Finn.
My golfing is bad, real bad, sometimes I can't it the ball regardless of how much I practice......so now the clubs just sit in the closet and I look at them.....:lol::lol::lol:

Lars Maegdefessel was grateful and honored:
- I am in a great team, we are all excited of course. Means a lot. Thank you, Prince Daniel, for this opportunity. Incredibly flattering.

Programmet Prins Daniel 3 september - Länsstyrelsen i Örebro län

Sten Renglin from the County Administrative Board tells that Daniel has been invited primarily because he was born in Örebro, but also because it was here that he made his first official appearance with the royal family after he had become prince in 2010. There is an intense day waiting for the prince. The meaning of the whole visit is that he will experience Örebro. We're very happy and proud that he comes here.
During the day he will do everything from visiting the university to meet with local business owners. But the highlight is undoubtedly a visit to Almby church - the church where Daniel once was baptized.
- There will be a ceremony inside the church to mark the prince's visit. Daniel was baptized in January 1974 by the late parish priest Nils Magnerus.
The focus should be on when he himself was baptized in the church. We will show the font and gather around it. Had the parishioners had been allowed to decide they probably wanted the prince had stayed all day. We were of course of course delighted when it became clear that he would come.
Renglin predicts the visit:
- That may be a Daniel Fever.

Daniel told to Expressen's Johan T Lindwall, that it was very special to visit the church where he was baptized. The church is so beautiful and the choir sang a lovely song. His parents have told him that his baptism was a lovely ceremony. Daniel thinks it is great to visit Örebro, it is a nice city.
Daniel had joked in the morning that hopefully they can do all that was in the program. The vicar gave Daniel a baptism candle and a print which symbolizes the baptism. The vicar joked that Daniel must come back when the candle ends.

Daniel visited the Örebro University. Prince Daniel was particularly interested in research related to physical activity and therefore had to hear more about how exercise and diet can affect both diabetes as muscle mass, something that Professor Fawzi Kadi researches. It was an interested Prince Daniel who went with us into the lab and saw a sampling where a person with a study on exercise and type 1 diabetes, conducted a session on the exercise bike. There the prince asked also many knowledgeable questions.

Daniel was interviewed to SVT news, video
Daniel said that it feels very good to be in Örebro. I have had a very exciting day.
The thing that most impressed the prince during their stay in Örebro was the visit to the activity center Tegelbruket.
- It carries on an incredibly good business. I am truly inspired and almost a little high on the experience and impressions.
Even Örebro University made ​​an impression, and so clearly Almby Church where he was baptized 40 years ago.
- It was a very nice time we had there in the church. It is clear that it is little emotional to come back to a place where one is baptized.
When asked what the Prince first comes now to mind when he hears the word Orebro, he replied:
- Previously, it has been the place where I was born, but now I think Tegelbruket will be something that I will always think about.

The second Prince Daniel's Race and Sports Day is today at the Haga Park. Daniel has given on Friday an interview to Jenny Alversjö from TV4. TV4 will show the interview at 10.15 at Nyhetsmorgon (News morning). Daniel speaks at least about sports and health.

Expressen has a short clip from the interview.
Daniel says that we should move and exercise much more. The parents and other people who deal with children have a big responsibility go get them moving. It is important to Daniel what Estelle grows up with a healthy lifestyle, which sometimes includes a refusal to Estelle of using screen. The reporter asks: Estelle likes about e-readers (she uses word "läsplatta")? Yes, absolutely, Daniel says with a smile. We have to limit that a little. Daniel tells that they have balls and floor ball sticks at home. But when you are two and a half year old, you do like you feel good, not like your father wants. The reporter also asks that was it a self-evident choice to choose the preschool they did. Daniel says that they think it is important that she gets into a healthy lifestyle with a lot being outdoors and gets used to it.

Now here is a man not royal born and yet he is more royal and has a sense of being a responsible young man who knows how to do the job as some royal princes of the world only play at doing a job. I so admire this man who is so devoted to his wife and daughter and his position. CP you could learn much from Daniel.
 
The children can try 45 various sports today and there is over 1300 children who are running the Prince Daniel's race. Daniel will deliver the medals.

Daniel's interview
http://www.tv4play.se/program/nyhetsmorgon?video_id=2963442
Daniel tells that they had a nice summer: "We were very much in Öland with our little family and even with my wife's parents".
Daniel says that his interest for sports, moving and health comes from his childhood, he liked very many sports. And everyone knows we should move more. There are reports that people sit way too much and don't move and that is a big problem. People are "active couch potatoes" with TV on, with their mobile and a laptop on their knees. Activity to head and brains but no activity to heart and lungs. The Sports Day is according to Daniel a great manifestation from the Sporting Sweden and local associations to be at the Haga Park and make it possible for the children to try different sports, it means a lot to Daniel. The first Sports Day last year was one of the highlights of the year for him. Estelle spends a lot of time at the Park. They bicycle, run and walk at the Haga Park with their family. Daniel says that they don't have time for that every day, although you should not blame the lack of time, you should always have 20 minutes. It means a lot to Daniel to see the children run and try various sports. Daniel feels that it is a good thing that he because of his role can collect good people to make good things. Last year there was 12000 people on this day at the Haga Park. Daniel tells also about his patronage on "En frisk generation", which supports parents to live a more healthy life with their children, for example by picking up mushrooms, arranging sports events, playing basketball. It is good that the whole family works together. If you find a sport you like as a child, you perhaps continue it your whole life. Many sports are expensive but there is also a lot of sports that are free or don't cost much, and many of them are with the Sports Day at the Haga Park. There are possibilities to do sports without a lot of money, but it is still a challenge. It is often so that it you are dumped from some team, you stop the sports totally. Daniel thinks that many people want to do sports a couple of times a week just for fun.
Daniel says that it would be interesting to see what would happen if the children would have sports every day at school. It would also help that parents who have a lot of demands while raising their children. This would be interesting to test about. Daniel tells about his visit to school in Bunkeflo, which has got great results, that physical activity helps their other school work. Daniel says that event the adults feel many times that it is hard to motivate oneself, it is easy to understand that many have it difficult to do exercise, the society could support more. Daniel says that the children can of course learn a lot by sitting on their computers, but to find a better balance with that and moving more, is hard. The parents and other people who deal with children have a big responsibility to get the children to move more.
Jenny Alversjö says that Daniel has now been a member of the Royal Family for many years, how has it been? Daniel says that he has a possibility to dedicate himself to exciting things he sees as important. It is very stimulating but also challenging but he feels very good at his role. Daniel says that Sports Day and Prince Daniel's Race is a good example how he with the help of a lot of people can do some good for the people. Daniel says that he could do more, one can always do more, but he feels good that he has this opportunity. Daniel hopes that today many children can find a new sport they really like and perhaps can continue in the future. And he hopes to see a lot of true joy.

I am just amazed at this man, he looks like he is thrilled to be there, that smile goes from ear to ear and his enthusiasm is catchy. He is the best prince out there for any royal family........I sure hope CG realizes the value and the hard work he does on his and the royal family's behalf. CPV sure did get a winner with him....he is such a treasure. Yes I do like him and wish him the very best of health through the coming years.
