One of the things that makes the Pasadena
Bridge Club special is our teaching schedule and
course catalog.
We reserve three dedicated periods each week
for formal bridge classes: Wednesday afternoons,
and Wednesday and Thursday evenings. Within
those three periods, the goal is to cycle
through our available 6-week courses on a
staggered schedule. Every course should come
around about three times each year.
Every course benefits from being taken a second
time! Bridge learning never ends — it's one of
the things that make this game so compelling!
Here is the lineup of courses starting next
week:
Bridge Basics 2 - Competitive Bidding
In this course we start thinking like a bridge
player — considering when our best result may be
to go down in a contract for a small negative
score rather than let the opponents make a
contract for a large negative score.
You'll discover the Law of Total Tricks
that can help you decide "to bid or not to bid."
Bridge Basics 4 - Play of the Deal
Improve your ability to win all the tricks you
can as the declarer in a contract. It's all
about planning! Learn to identify many of the
patterns that enable developing extra winners or
eliminating losers.
The course this period is taught by Zachary
Vedro, one of the very best not only at playing
the deal, but at presenting the concepts
involved.
The textbook won Book of the Year in
2025 from the American Bridge Teachers
Association.
Improving Your Judgment - Doubles
Most newer bridge players overlook
opportunities to use the double call to
compete in the auction. This course will improve
your ability to recognize opportunities for a
takeout double, and provide some structure to
the bidding and decisions that come after.
Looking for an introduction course?
We just completed a Bridge Introduction course
in November, and our next one is scheduled for
Thursday evenings starting April 2.
Can't wait to get started? There's a course
using the highly acclaimed Easybridge
curriculum in Woodland Hills on Saturday
mornings, starting January 17. Here's
more information on their course.

bridge, check out our full schedule of events

Save the date ...
 The bridge club will be
hosting Robert Todd for a full day bridge
seminar on Sunday, March 15. This is our third
year to host Robert, and it's always an
eye-opening and entertaining day!
Watch for details in a future newsletter!
Hope to see you soon at
the bridge club!
Best regards,
Mojo, Jane, Zachary, Lisa, Susan
