I have three great opportunities to learn and
improve your bridge game. It all starts this
week!
I'm really excited about the return of the
Saturday morning workshop. Read on for more ...
And don't forget our Monday through Thursday
"Office Hours" sessions from 3:00 - 5:00 PM.
Drop in whenever you like and play some casual
bridge with other bridge players at your level.
Introduction to Defense
This course introduces the essentials of good
defense, helping you work with your partner to
win as many tricks as you can. Good defense
requires imagination, logic, communication, and
puzzle solving skills. Two-thirds of your bridge
play will be on defense!
The textbook is by Eddie Kantar, updated by
Barbara Seagram in 2019. The style is
delightful, sometimes whimsical, easy to read
and understand
Bridge Basics 1 - Introduction
This is the starting point for folks who've
never played bridge, and a great way to get back
into the game if you've been away from it for a
while.
The first class teaches all of the mechanics of
the game (you can't miss this one if you've
never played!). The following classes introduce
ways to win more tricks and find better
contracts.
As of this email, we only have a handful of
seats left for this session.
Saturday morning workshop and game
The Saturday workshop is back with a new
starting time and a great new series of lessons.
We'll meet at 9:30 for the workshop, and follow
at 10:00 with a 14-15 board bridge game that awards
masterpoints. The game will be finished by
12:15, leaving your Saturday afternoon free. If
you need more, play in the Open Pairs game at
1:00!
Our workshop will focus on hands from Eddie
Kantar's excellent "Thinking Bridge" series.
We'll start by bidding and playing a hand. Each
hand will have interesting bidding, declarer
play, and defense problems to solve.
Every hand is a great example of how to
think about a bridge hand, and not just
blindly follow the guidelines you've learned.
Next Bridge Basics 1 - Introduction ...
The next offering of Bridge Basics 1 will be
held on Wednesday evenings starting October 31.
The course is already available
for registration in the PCC Extension
catalog. For all your friends curious about
bridge, let them know!
Come learn and play bridge!
