I have heard that as of Feb 1 Chuck Gardener was handling all of the tour rep duties. Just curious about it.

I saw Chuck Gardner on the Don & Paula Carter's Doubles telecast between matches working with Diandra.

Chuck is the full time tour rep now and will be assisted by the regional rep that the stop is in.  He had the smallest region so he took over when Rick was let go.  Rick is still out there touring since 7 or so players are paying for his expenses to stay out and help but he isn't brand specific.

i don''t understand this move by brunswick. they may regret this decision in the near future. rick has helped me from time to time and i valued his opinions on brunswick equipment and bowling in general.

Rick helped out a lot of free agents and other staff members as well as the Brunswick staff so he's a great asset to the tour.  Unfortunately I don't see him being with a company as a rep again next year either so maybe he can stay out charging for his services or something

I don't know Rick Benoit, but I do know Chuck. He's worked on the tour as a rep for Columbia, and got results.

Face it folks, Brunswick has not been winning lately. When was the last time Parker Bohn won? I think Brunswick is looking for results.

Last week Diandra Asbaty carried better than anyone else. Chuck setup her equipment, and Brunswick got results.

It's just business. Sometimes you just have to make a change ...
