Joakim "Jocke" Rask (born 8 January 1972) is a Swedish professional golfer.
Rask's father, a scratch golfer, taught him to play as a six-year-old and he represented the Swedish boys' team. Rask concentrated on golf after an ice-hockey injury, and turned professional in 1992 at the age of 20. He won a Challenge Tour event in his first season, and he had a great 1996 season, which saw him hold the number one rankings position for several weeks in the mid-to-late part of the season, and graduated to the European Tour.Joakim Rask Bio, European Tour, accessed 8 September 2016
