FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | JANUARY 2024 65 Ladies Putters A bit of cold weather and strong winds kept the Ladies Putters from being able to play a few days this past month. But as always, when we did get out, we all had a great time. We decided to hold our annual Holiday Party and Awards in late November instead of December. The LPG Steering Committee added a few more categories so we were able to give out more awards to more players. We will be taking the month of December off and will resume play on Monday, Jan. 8 at 4 pm at The Courts. As always, we'd love to see more gals come out and join us next year. It's a low-impact, high fun social activity, and the best part is no experience is necessary. We have extra putters and balls if you'd like to come out and give it a try. Our 9-hole putting green is located at The Courts, behind the pool area. Our putting days/times are Mondays at 4 pm and Fridays at 9 am. For more information, please contact Bonnie Brown at (951) 337-0833 or Elaine Brown at (626) 589-9791. ~ Phyllis Kates Hey everyone! I am inviting more folks to come out and play Bid Whist. We have paper flyers available at The Lodge, and our electronic flyer can now be viewed on the E-Boards in all the facilities and online in the Activities Blast. We have an enjoyable time socializing while applying our individual team strategies to win the hand or stop the opposing team from winning. You can almost hear the excited voices of the victors around the tables, as well as the sounds of the Temptations or Herbie Hancock or Aretha Franklin or BB King or Adele — a variety of mellow music — in the background while we play. I strongly encourage new players to come out. We will teach you how to play this game. Bid Whist is a variation of the original game of Whist and it involves strategy, card counting and careful communication with a partner. It is similar in play to Bridge and Spades. Whether you are new to the game or a veteran player, I invite you to come out and play with us! The Co-Ed Bid Whist group meets on Tuesdays from 6 to 8:30 pm in RCN, Room 3. We offer a satisfying game environment filled with skill, good cheer, good-natured trash talking, and some great music. Win or lose … you will have a lot of fun and meet some great folks while playing Bid Whist. We look forward to seeing you at the tables. For more information, contact Frank Turner (562) 922-9737. ~ Frank Turner Co-ed Bid Whist Mah Jongg Duplicate Bridge Hello all! We are now playing Mah Jongg in the RCN Main Room every Friday morning from 10 am to noon. I hope you can join us. The great part is that you do not have to commit to every Friday. If you are interested in learning this game, we arrange periodic lessons and have a table designated for new players. If you have any questions or would like to arrange an introductory lesson, contact Terry Hall at Terryhall005@gmail.com. ~ Terry Hall GET SMART! Bridge is one of the few games that stimulates both the le and right sides of your brain. Every time you play, you use — and improve — your skills in communication, logic, math, memory, visualization, and psychology. Next month we'll discuss a recent study that shows Duplicate Bridge players are significantly more attractive than other people. We only held a couple of sessions of Duplicate Bridge in 2023. Starting in January of this year, we will have a session of duplicate bridge on the second Saturday of the month, provided there is sufficient interest. Please contact me if you are not on the mailing list for those interested in duplicate bridge at Four Seasons Beaumont. I will serve as director and look forward to seeing you there. ~ Kirk Freyermuth, kafreyer@ frontier.com e Ladies Putter Group rang in the holidays with a potluck and the giving out of awards
