WARREN, PA — Randon Mineweaser, the player with the most under-the-influence golf experience on the Spackler Tour, summoned his swing coach in an 11th hour bid to solve his mysterious loss of form and quest to win his first On Tour Championship.

He continues to spend two hours on the range weekly in preparation, but struggles to regain the form that made him a household name in high school.

Mineweaser is prepared to stand up, improve, and bring the first On Tour Championship to the state of Pennsylvania in the history of Spackler.  The only problem is the swing that cannot keep him in the short grass.

"It is not a coach that Randon needs, it is a psychiatrist," says Mike Davis.  "He graduated high school and has been a head case ever since.  He needs to relax over the ball and get rid of the ego.  Then his talent can take over."

Gumby added, "Mineweaser's technique is the worst I have seen it in a long time. His coach now has him hitting a driver off the ground, rather than a tee peg, to get the arc of his swing back in line.  He needs drastic change and maybe a form of swing probation.  Monitoring his swing consistency is critical right now."

Mineweaser, making his first appearance in a Carl Spackler Open, admitted: "I didn't play well in Virginia. But I am working very hard on my game, and I have 60 days to get it right.  It is just a question of getting the job done."

Randon is in 10th place, one spot out of last place, and has 28.3 points per round after a weak trip to Williamsburg, VA.  This sets him back 20 points per round behind the leader.  His entire golfing season is relying on his swing probation and play volume at Blueberry, Jackson, and Cable Hollow, where pars are nearly handed out to anyone.
