ADVANCED BEGINNER COURSES:

A. Our P.A.T. courses.
Putting it All Together with Shlomit Rind shlobridge@gmail.com

Shlomit designed our P.A.T. program to provide our students with a place to practice what they had been taught in the four Beginner courses that they had taken over many months. These P.A.T. classes have become our most popular series ever! If you feel the need to review the basics, know that this course, given four times a week, is interactive, meaning you’ll be playing lots and lots of hands each session. Shlomit’s style is nurturing and her classes provide both an educational and very social experience.

P.A.T. puts bidding, declarer play, and defensive concepts into actual practice. The first three classes listed below are on the Advanced Beginner level.

1. Mondays at noon: While Shlomit discusses all aspects of the hands played, the focus is on declarer play.

What tools are at your disposal that may allow you to win extra tricks? What options are you presented with? Are there other considerations? And finally, the ever important, making a plan and carrying out a strategy.

2. Thursdays at 10:00 am: An introduction to the Two-Over-One bidding system. Six weekly sessions, starting February 11th.

3. Thursdays at 4:30pm: Her Advanced P.A.T. course is for players transitioning to our Intermediate courses.
Some knowledge of 2/1, slam bidding, Jacoby 2NT, and defensive carding is a prerequisite.
