Bridge for Beginners – Part 3
Bridge for Beginners – Part 3
What will I learn?
This is Part 3 of a 3 part bridge course aimed at introducing beginners to this fascinating game, retaining a sense of fun in what at higher levels can be a very competitive pastime. In Part 3 of the course, learners are introduced to:• Higher level openings as strong bids – for balanced and unbalanced hands.• Higher level openings as pre-emptive bids – for weak hands with a long good suit.• Using new conventions – including Stayman to find 4-card major fits; and Blackwood to assist in slam bidding.During the course learning is very interactive. The overall pace will be dictated by the general class progress and not a pre-set syllabus. Methods used are a combination of formal tuition, practical exercises and playing of prepared hands.
