Founders Duplicate Bridge
Friday Duplicate Bridge
Fall has arrived and we are still unable to play live bridge at the
Clubhouse. Prior to the pandemic, a room reservation request for
the following year had to be submitted to the event coordinator by
the end of August. At the time of this writing, the process for room
reservations has not started.
Meanwhile we have various options to keep bridge in our lives.
Aside from playing online bridge we can also study and learn from
the experts. Larry Cohen, a well-known bridge personality publishes
numerous articles on the Internet.
Go to www.larryco.com. Then click on LEARNING CENTER for
a list of articles.
You can also sign up for Larry's free educational newsletters
containing interactive bridge hands, quizzes and articles.
From Wikipedia: " Larry Neil Cohen (born April 14, 1959) is an
American bridge player, writer and teacher. He is best known as an
advocate for the Law of Total Tricks as a guide in the bidding. He has
won 25 North American Bridge Championship events. He learned to
play bridge at age six with his grandparents and brother Paul, started
playing duplicate at age 14 and began playing tournaments at age 15.
He became an ACBL life master at age 17."
Please stay safe and healthy.
We offer a Duplicate Bridge game that combines the superior
scoring of Duplicate Bridge but also has the friendlier and non-
aggressive attitude of home style Rubber Bridge. With Duplicate
Bridge, your true opponents are the pairs that hold the same cards
as you would rather than your opponents at the table. We are not an
ACBL game and for that, we not only offer an extremely reasonable
game price of just $2, but also give cash awards to the winners.
If you are interested, please call John Gates at (760) 295-5885, the
president of this bridge club, to see if this type of game might meet
your expectations. We are relatively small and have anywhere from
five to eight tables. The games are at 1 pm on the second, fourth, and
fifth Fridays of the month in Mykonos. You do not have to join this
club to play your first game, however if you decide to join, the annual
dues are $6.
