We have three great bridge courses starting in the next few weeks. Our courses are geared toward working adults and students, and offered on Saturday mornings plus Wednesday and Thursday evenings. With each of our courses, you will be able to practice the hands from class at home using just your internet browser! Here are the courses that are starting up next: Bridge Basics 3 - Popular Conventions Saturday Mornings, starting Sept. 16 This course covers the most popular and valuable bidding conventions. You'll learn Stayman and Jacoby Transfer Bids for responding to notrump openings. We'll also cover very strong opening hands, and slam bidding, including the Blackwood and Gerber conventions. * Six Saturday Mornings, 9:30 - 11:30 * $115 includes textbook * Click here for the lesson plan <https://pasadenabridgeclub.com/course/popular-conventions> * Click here to enroll <https://pasadenabridgeclub.com/contact/course_enrollment> Improving Your Judgment - Doubles Wednesday Evenings, starting Sept. 27 The takeout double is the most powerful and useful call in the bidding box. Refine your understanding of takeout doubles, your role as advancer (when your partner doubles), and rebids by the doubler. We'll study many borderline decisions to help improve your judgment. * Six Wednesday Evenings, 7:00 - 9:00 * $115 includes textbook * Click here for the lesson plan <https://pasadenabridgeclub.com/course/iyj_doubles> * Click here to enroll <https://pasadenabridgeclub.com/contact/course_enrollment> Bridge Basics 2 - Competitive Bidding Thursday Evenings, starting Oct. 12 This is the followup course to /Bridge Basics 1/, but it's dynamite for experienced club players as well. You'll learn ways to compete in the bidding to maximize your score and do better on more hands. We'll practice preemptive opening bids, overcalls, the takeout double, and the negative (responder's) double.
