The Official 'Double P' Blog

A quick note for all of you who check the blog often and have been emailing PatPerezGolf.com asking what's going on.

As of now, PP is taking the rest of 2006 off to rest and heal his elbow. His bout with Tendonitis started back in April and has been nagging him ever since. In the past five months he's attempted to rest it, work it out and has seen specialists from San Diego to Scottsdale to Birmingham, AL.

Instead of working out and pushing for yet another comeback this year, PP is going to finally rest the elbow for four straight months. The goal is to begin working out later in the year and to come back in 2007 with a vengance.

Any questions in the meanwhile, please email cb@patperezgolf.com and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.
