Zanotti seriously hit from a bad drive from another hole. Police and paramedics on the fairway to take care of him. Looks serious.

Still not a lot of people going low. Jimenez and Manassero at +2, Lipsky (last week winner) and Otto (winner week before that) on +4, Storm at +2, Luiten and Blixt at level par. Only top 5 below par.

Suspension of an hour, play to restart at 12:15. Hopefully Zanotti will be okay, this scares the shit out of me.

There seems to have been a trend in recent years for players to stop shouting warnings from the tee. It's something that Peter Alliss has commented on, and he's singled out Bubba Watson in particular as being about the worst offender. Without knowing how this happened (being hit on the 16th green from a tee shot on 14 is what I've read) it could be something they might choose to look at? Is shouting 'Fore' and holding a club out really not good for the image? Why wouldn't a player try and forewarn spectators that a badly hit drive is heading their way?

I was thinking the same. No idea if it was the case here (maybe the player in question did shout 'fore'), but I see it all the time. It's a disgrace, and I think factual a breaking of the rules. Everybody who plays golf learns that the HAVE to shout 'fore' to warn other players. Unbelievable a lot of pro's feel like they don't have to and in my opinion if somebody lacks to do that he should be punished with a penalty.

Home favourite Joost Luiten made a perfect start to his title defence as the KLM Open began in The Netherlands.

The Dutchman was level par through 11 holes at Kennemer Golf & Country Club when play was briefly suspended, but stormed home with three birdies and an eagle in his last seven holes for a five under par 65.

That was one ahead of 22 year old Frenchman Gary Stal, who carded 32 on a flawless front nine which included four birdies, and Argentina’s Estanislao Goya.

The delay occurred after this season's BMW International Open winner Fabrizio Zanotti was injured by a ball struck from the 14th tee by Alexandre Kaleka when he was on the 16th fairway.

The 31 year old did not lose consciousness and received treatment on the course from a doctor and a paramedic before he was then taken to hospital as a precaution where he was accompanied by fellow players Felipe Aguilar and Ricardo Gonzalez, who withdrew from the tournament to stay with him.

    • First (12 holes) round in a year, maybe the third round in five years. After prioritizing family for a long time, I’m ready to play more golf. We moved back where I grew up and started playing golf. The course is close, but only six holes and pretty short, so the longest club I bring is a 4i. It is very undulated, with a lot of elevation changes and 4/6 greens are blind shots. The long game was relatively good (relative to my game and swing). Got things to work on, but the current state is manageable. One OB. Wedges and short game was atrocious. Chunking like I was making a garden. On the worst hole I chunked a 58° approach, then chunked three chips in a row… Time to search up some chipping topics and start practicing. I’ll take this over bad long game and good short game. The short game is easier to fix. Shot a net +17(!), gross +23, over 12 holes.
    • Day 118 - Spent some time working on the full swing. Need to film some swings for Evolvr tomorrow. 
    • playing with cleveland hybrid irons have friends that use hybrids anyone using hybrid irons or hybrids would appreciate fwwdback
    • I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory. 
    • Day 20: Did 30 minutes after getting home from work, before kid's baseball practice. This session was piecing out the new hip move in transition, doing 2-3 rehearsals from the top, and then hitting a ball from between P5/P6. Did another 45 minutes after baseball practice and dinner. Did 30 more minutes of what I did earlier, and then about 15 minutes of full swings trying to incorporate athletically.
