THIS CLASS IS FULL

A Zoom class for advancing bridge players. Learn how to maximize your partnership’s trick-taking potential on defense, even when holding the weakest hand at the table. Topics will include opening leads, signals, defender’s plan, defensive maxims, and other strategies to make play more fun and rewarding when playing defense. We will explore Rule of 11 and review Audrey Grant’s Bridge Basics directly related to the day’s lesson. The primary text, Audrey Grant’s Five Tips to Simplify Defense, is not required. However, if you wish to purchase a text, instructors will have them available one week prior to the first class for $7 each.

Connie has played social bridge most of her life and is a regular in the student club games, so she knows what “sticks.”
