I was in for surgery to release a trapped nerve in my forearm on 7th May, tonight was the first I've hit a ball since then. My handicap index is 21 at the moment, and the last round I played was a nett 75. Tonight I bogeyed the first, but then hit 7 straight pars before I had a 7 on the 9th to be 40 (4 over) at the turn. God knows where that came from.
