Strengthen your bidding with essential conventions. You will understand and use twelve popular conventions. These conventions are useful, easy-to-remember and fun to play. This course includes discussion of the weekly topic, in-class exercises, lots of practice deals and homework.
This course is designed for bridge players who have a minimum of one year of experience playing duplicate bridge.
Using materials from many sources you will learn concepts, do exercises in class (homework outside of class) and finish the evening by playing hands relating to the topic. Snacks are also provided. You will be amazed at what you’ll learn, even if you’ve played for years and years!
The in-class exercises are available in electronic format so students can play the hands at home and receive commentary on their bidding and play (requires Bridge Baron software).
Our course lecturer is the very popular Frank Smoot who has taught bridge to beginners and beyond in Palo Alto for almost 20 years. Frank and our wonderful volunteers give students individual attention which helps our students learn in a fun environment.
Please contact Frank Smoot for more information.
