Try them in the best order.\nUse timing and endplays to bring home tough contracts.\n\nHow the class works \nLots of bidding and play of the hand (and a little bit of homework). \nWe will do exercises in class (homework outside of class) and conclude each evening by playing deals related to the topic. In-class deals are available in downloadable format so you can play the hands at home and receive commentary on the bidding and play (requires Bridge Baron Software). \nCoffee\, tea and snacks also provided. \nOur course instructor is the very popular Frank Smoot who has taught bridge to beginners and beyond in Palo Alto for 30+ years.  Frank and our wonderful volunteers give students individual attention which helps our students learn in a fun environment. \nFor more information contact Frank Smoot (408) 306-3901 email.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \n\n\n\n\nThe 5-Week Course Covers\nBridge Baron Downloads\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRespond to a Suit Opening\nImportant Suit Tactics\nCombine Your Chances\nEndplays\nEntries & Communications\n\n\n\n\nRespond\nSuit Tactics\nCombine\nEndplays\nEntries\n\n\n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Bridge Baron Support \nPurchase:  BaronBarclay\nInstructions for downloading and playing files with Bridge Baron\nStudents:  For additional support contact Alan Templeton or Frank Smoot[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \n\nPayment\nAfter registering\, below\, you may pay by Zelle or check to hold your spot: \nZelle:  Transfer $170 to either franklinsalias-bridge@yahoo.com or (408) 306-3901. \nCheck:  Mail a check made out to Frank Smoot in the amount of $170: \n\nFrank Smoot\n15 Tagus Ct.\nPortola Valley\, CA 94028[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
