Despite his recent struggles with his health and mounting medical bills, Carl Ong wants to make this crystal clear: Agent Ong Open IV - "All In" is going on as planned.

It's on Oct. 15-18, 2026 at South Point in Las Vegas. He also intends to be there.

Friends have a GoFundMe set up for Carl to offset some of the costs he's incurring in hopes of getting well again. It's bit.ly/CarlOng (case sensitive).

One of those friends is Tournament Director Theo Douthit. He and Carl discuss this fourth year of the tournament in detail in this episode.

When watching a PWBA event, it's an absolute treat to have the insight of someone like Chuck Gardner in real time.

So, when this particular episode coincided with the 2026 PWBA Tour Championship, it was a must to discuss the two ladies in the championship match.

Chuck recently retired from full time work with Brunswick Bowling, although he still plans to represent the company in a limited capacity.

He explained what that means and some of his memories through all those years with professionals, youth bowlers and just about everyone else involved in the industry of the sport.

Following the Junior Gold Championships in Minneapolis, I had the opportunity to join Mark Jeffreys and Jonathan Beyer on their livestream, Pins On Campus.

You can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHmOB4mDB2s&t=5430s

(and subscribe while you're at it...there may be a bowling ball in it for me!)

Since Mark has appeared on Bowling With The Fef! previously, it was a must to speak with Jonathan, as his Dallas Baptist University program had just broken through to their first USBC Collegiate sectionals appearance in the spring.

Jonathan takes pride in how far the program has come, as well as the growth and development of the student-athletes that have made it happen!
