ADVANCED BEGINNER COURSES:

**A. Our “Putting it All Together” or P.A.T course….Some of our most popular online classes.

Our P.A.T. program** provides you with a place to practice and begin to integrate all that’s been thrown at you and all you’ve “learned” during your first year or two of lessons. Lessons, I might add, that you may have taken here or anywhere else. There’s just sooooo much. A solid foundation is what everyone wants. No hurry. This program of hands-on play is presented to you at a very gentle pace, in a very relaxed environment. For those reasons and more, these P.A.T. courses have become our most popular series ever!
These sessions have you declaring and defending hand after hand. You’re never the dummy, you’re always part of the action.

Our Shlomit Rind P.A.T. schedule
1. Monday’s at noon: 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. Monday’s with Shlomit are about PLAY OF THE HAND, after, hand, after hand.

2. Thursdays at 10:00 am: Shlomit’s second series of Two-Over-One bidding focuses on slam bidding. There will be six weekly sessions, starting April 1st.

3. Thursdays at 4:30pm: Her Advanced P.A.T. course is for players transitioning to our Intermediate courses and Newplicate bridge games..
