Start and/or Improve Your Ability To Play Bridge
Here’s a great way to socialize … and exercise your brain at the same time: Learn Bridge and take it to solid, intermediate levels in just 10 weekly lessons!
Classmate David Howorth, certified by the American Contract Bridge League for both face-to-face and online teaching, is offering bridge lessons to any classmates and their spouses who are interested. The lessons are as close to free as he can make them. (There’s a $15 charge per student to cover the cost of the web-based service he uses, and a sub-$20 book from Amazon you’ll need.)
The lessons assume no prior knowledge of bridge, but David has found that about half of those who sign up for his lessons are retirees who played some when they were young and now want to get back into bridge.
If more than four or five classmates and spouses are interested, the lessons will be restricted to classmates.
If you’re interested, please fill out this form [CLOSED] so David can determine the number of classmates interested. Please reply ASAP, but no later than March 28st. [CLOSED]
The Course
The course consists of ten two-hour lessons, and often a short eleventh lesson to ensure that everything’s been covered.
About the course curriculum, David explains:
You won’t learn squeezes and endplays in this course, but you will learn the basic techniques of bidding, play, and defense. For better or worse, I proceed at a faster pace than most teachers of beginners do.
With the web-based service I use, each student gets to play three to five preset hands every lesson while I supervise the play.
